In a moment of athletic brilliance during the IPL 2025 face-off between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi Capitals (DC), wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan pulled off a sensational high catch to dismiss Abishek Porel, giving SRH an early edge in the encounter at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
The dismissal came in the fifth over of the match, under the lights of a packed Hyderabad crowd, with Pat Cummins steaming in for SRH. Delivering a good-length ball just angling down the leg side, Cummins tempted Porel into one of his favored flicks. However, the DC batter mistimed the shot completely, as the ball caught the leading edge and ballooned high into the night sky.
Recognizing the opportunity instantly, Kishan called for the catch early, showing sharp awareness and communication. He sprinted with purpose, covering significant ground toward the square leg region. With the ball swirling in the air and fielders converging, Kishan remained composed, positioning himself expertly before safely pouching the catch to dismiss Porel.
