If catches win matches, then Sunrisers Hyderabad deserves to be on the winning side in their ongoing game against Mumbai Indians.
Their star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan took an absolute stunner to get rid of the dangerous Rohit Sharma early in the innings. On the other hand, the smart catch extended Rohit Sharma‘s poor start to the IPL.
The Mumbai Indians skipper had failed to get going in the season-opener against Chennai Super Kings. As a result, he started cautiously against the hosts. The India star would have made his way out of the ground in the very first over. However, Deepak Hooda dropped a tough chance. But the right-handed batsman failed to capitalise on it and departed quite early, much to the relief of Hooda and Sunrisers.
Rohit was batting on 11 off 9 when he flicked a Billy Stanlake delivery. He was not in control of the shot and as a result the ball took the aerial rout. But is still looked safe as it was falling in front of Shakib who was standing at short square leg. However, Shakib dived forward and got both hands underneath to take a brilliant catch.
Here is a clip of that catch:
