The latest edition of IPL is entering its important phase and the teams are trying their best to win every match. While batting and bowling are the most important aspects of the game, but one cannot deny that fielding has become a very important aspect too. Fielding can make or break a game for a team.
The tournament has already seen some spectacular catches and the match between Delhi Daredevils and Rising Pune Supergiants witnessed one more splendid catch.
Chasing 162, RPS needed 17 from the last two overs. With MS Dhoni and Ajinkya Rahane on the crease, the target looked within reach. But then a spectacular catch by Sam Billings on the first ball of the 19th over gave Delhi some hope to stage a comeback. Imran Tahir bowled a full delivery on the pads and Dhoni whipped powerfully. For a moment, it looked like a six but Billings at deep mid-wicket leaped to the right and grabbed a screamer.

RPS needed 17 from 11 balls after Dhoni’s dismissal but two consecutive sixes from Thisara Perera in the penultimate over sealed the game for RPS.
