Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Manish Pandey held on to an impressive dive catch to send Mumbai Indians batsman Ishan Kishan back in a 2020 IPL match in Sharjah on Sunday.
Pandey, who was having a steamy moment on the field, turned things around on the last ball of the 15th. Ishan Kishan hit a long pitch from Sandeep Sharma to long. Pandey moved quickly to his right, launched himself into the air and was parallel to the ground when he grabbed that hook inches off the ground.

Kishan was fired for 31 of 23 balls when Sharma picked up his second wicket.
Manish Pandey’s jaw-dropping capture made the comment box go haywire.
“Sensational, one of the best we’ve seen so far,” former Australia starter Michael Slater said during the comment.
“Pool diving, simply outstanding,” was the response of Murali Kartik, a former left arm spinner from India, to the capture of Manish Pandey.

Pandey, however, would not be happy with his knockdown caught in the seventh. Quinton de Kock was hitting at 16 when he threw one over the ropes for a six at the Abul Samad bowling alley.
De Kock injured SRH by scoring 67 of 39 balls after Rohit Sharma opted to hit first. Thanks to the late blooming of Kieron Pollard and Kurnal Pandya, MI published 208/5.
