Fielding that changed the course of the game in IPL

#2 Kings XI Punjab vs Mumbai Indians, 2017 (Kings XI Punjab won by 7 runs)

It was perhaps one more day where IPL continued to set high standards for fielding. This time it was the Kiwi international, Martin Guptill, pulled off one of the best catches in the tournament. Kings XI Punjab entered the match in a must-win situation to qualify for the playoffs.

Martin Guptill and Wriddhiman Saha gave visitors a fantastic start at Wankhede Stadium, stitching a partnership of 68 runs from 33 balls, before Martin Guptill getting out for 38 runs. In the middle overs, Maxwell stole the show with his stroke-making abilities. Saha remained unbeaten on 93 after their quota of 20 overs.

Chasing the big score of 231, Mumbai Indians started their innings with a high tempo. The opening pair of Parthiv Patel and Lendl Simmons stitched 99 runs from 8.4 overs, before the Indian wicket-keeper giving his wicket away. In the 3rd ball of 10th over, Maxwell bowled a low full-toss to Lendl Simmons. Simmons clobbered a full toss towards the long-on region, which would have cleared the ropes any other day. However, on this day, Guptill pulled off a one-handed catch to perfection. That switched the momentum of the match and Punjab won the nail-biting last-over thriller by seven runs.
