It happens in a few instances when a bowler manages to take a great reflex catch on his own bowling to dismiss the batter and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) pacer, Umesh Yadav did so against Rajasthan Royals (RR). Umesh took a brilliant juggling catch as the batter played the delivery straight towards him to provide the opening wicket for the team.

IPL 2022 hasn’t been much of a reason to celebrate for KKR so far as they have managed to win just three matches out of the nine games in total. However, the team started well against Rajasthan Royals reducing the opposition to 55/2 at the time of writing. KKR won the toss and chose to bowl first. Umesh Yadav made no mistake in proving the decision right as he dismissed Devdutt Padikkal in the opening spell.

Umesh Yadav was bowling the third over of the innings and he bowled a full delivery on the first ball to Padikkal. The batter only managed to chip the ball straight to him and the bowler was quick to pounce on it. The ball was slipping out of his hands but Umesh took a brilliant juggling catch, in the end, to send Padikkal back to the pavilion on a score of two.

Here is the video of the catch taken by Umesh Yadav:
