Hardik Pandya took a stunning catch at the boundary ropes to dismiss Aamir Kaleem in the Asia Cup 2025 match between India and Oman in Abu Dhabi on Friday, September 19. The star all-rounder balanced himself to perfection after taking a one-handed catch near the boundary ropes.

With the catch, Pandya ended a 93-run partnership between Kaleem and Hammad Mirza for the second wicket. As a result, Kaleem departed for 64 runs off 46 deliveries, including two sixes and seven boundaries.

The dismissal came in the 18th over of Oman’s run chase. Harshit Rana bowled a fuller length ball on the pads, and Kaleem flicked it towards fine leg. Pandya moved to his right and grabbed the ball before running around the ropes to prevent the momentum of the ball from taking him inside the boundary skirtings. He left everyone in awe with his excellent fielding skills.
