The flamboyant Rajasthan Royals (RR) all-rounder Ben Stokes pulled-off a brilliant diving catch off the bowling of Jofra Archer which sent back the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) opener Mandeep Singh to the pavilion on a golden duck.

#2 Devdutt Padikkal’s catch (MI vs RCB)
The young Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) cricketer, Devdutt Padikkal has been enjoying a purple patch in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. During the chase, Yuzvendra Chahal was the one who managed to scalp the wicket of Ishan Kishan followed by Siraj taking removing Saurabh Tiwary, owing to a brilliant diving catch by Devdutt Padikkal.
Saurabh Tiwary was targeting the mid-off region and looked to go over Padikkal; however, he mistimed it. The youngster put a full-length dive forward to catch the ball, only inches from the ground. Tiwary departed for five at the score of 72 in the 11th over, which put MI under some pressure.
