Over the years, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has seen some terrific catches which have left fans as well as commentators in absolute awe. During the ongoing game between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Rajasthan Royals (RR), David Miller took an outstanding catch to dismiss Ravichandran Ashwin and it sent the internet into a frenzy.
After winning the toss, RR skipper, Sanju Samson decided to bowl first. The Titans had a torrid start as they were three down as they lost 3 wickets at the score of 53, however, skipper Hardik Pandya alongside Abhinav Manohar took control of things and stitched a partnership of 86 runs for the fourth wicket to put their team back on track. Hardik Pandya played a match-winning knock of 87 from 52 balls helped his side reach 192/4.

Rajasthan Royals were off to a blistering start from Jos Buttler who came out all guns blazing and started smashing the Gujarat Titans bowlers to all parts of the ground. Devdutt Padikkal was dismissed for a golden duck by the debutant, Yash Dayal. To everyone’s surprise, Ravichandran Ashwin walked in at number three.
The plan could have been to counter Rashid Khan and he did that by smashing a six against the bowler. Ashwin started looking comfortable at the crease and timed one to perfection against Lockie Ferguson on the first ball of the fifth over only to find David Miller who was standing at covers diving to his left to take an outrageous catch to dismiss Ashwin. The ball was looking good to go towards the boundary, but David Miller took a brilliant catch.
