It needs something special to dismiss top-class players like Chris Lynn and Rishabh Pant did exactly that. The Delhi Capitals star came up with an absolute world-class catch to send back the Kolkata Knight Riders star in the tenth match of this year’s IPL at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi.
Lynn was just getting into his groove before Pant pulled off a sensational one handed catch to send back the Australian. On the fifth ball of the seventh over, Kagiso Rabada banged one short, taking Lynn by surprise as he was in no position to play a good pull shot. The shorter delivery was at the leg side but there was not too much room to direct it towards the boundary and Lynn ended up edging it with his gloves.
It still looked like the ball would sail past Pant before the wicketkeeper threw his body in the air and took a breathtaking one-handed stunner.

Lynn’s dismissal, meanwhile, had further piled the pressure on the Knight Riders. At the time of his dismissal, the Knight Riders were reeling at 40 for 3. However, the Knight Riders recovered brilliantly to post 185 for 8 in the allotted 20 overs.
The two-time IPL winners were reeling at 61 for 5 before Dinesh Karthik and Andre Russell scored fifties and shared 95 runs for the sixth wicket to bail the team out of trouble. Towards the end, lower-order batsman hit some big shots to take the team to a competitive total. Russell slammed 62 off 28 while Karthik scored 50 off 36.
