Aakash Chopra On Manish Pandey Catch
“It was a stunning catch by Manish Pandey. We have seen nearly 175 drops already this season. But once in a while, we get a gem like this one. Manish dived full stretch to his left and pulled off a blinder. The umpire had to check two things. First, whether the ball had touched the ground. Second, whether it was Manish Pandey or Glenn Phillips.”
Further he said,
“Because we are so used to seeing Phillips take these kinds of screamers. But this time, it was Manish Pandey. It left everyone stunned. Tim David stood there in disbelief and said it was not possible. This catch will go down as one of the best in IPL history. Manish Pandey has now played all 19 IPL seasons. Only Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have done the same. MS Dhoni hasn’t played a match this season yet.”
Talking about the game RCB won the thrilling clash against KKR by 6 wickets, with Virat Kohli stealing the show by smashing his 9th IPL hundred in ongoing IPL 2026.
