Young PBKS batter Nehal Wadhera displayed a brilliant batting performance of 62 runs off 41 balls, with 4 fours and three sixes against RR in the 18th game of the ongoing Indian Premier League. But what the eyeballs was the end of Wadhera’s innings with a spectacular catch taken by RR’s Dhruv Jurel.
The moment came on the first ball of the 16th over when Wanindu Hasaranga was bowling; Hasaranga bowled a fuller length, quite wide of the stumps. Wadhera attempted to slog it over the cow cornet, but it was an effort to go against the angle.
Eventually, the ball took the bottom part of the bat, and it went towards the deep mid-wicket region, where Dhruv Jurel executed an amazing catch just a few inches off the ground. The visuals of Dhruv Jurel’s sensational catch also started making rounds on social media as soon as it was shared on X (formerly Twitter).
Here’s a look at Dhruv Jurel's sensational catch:
