WATCH: SRH Player took ‘Catch of IPL’, Kavya Maran reaction says it all, video going Viral
New Delhi: During a Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) versus Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match, Sri Lankan all-rounder Kamindu Mendis made a spectacular catch. Mendis, fielding at long-off, caught a powerfully hit shot from CSK’s Dewald Brevis, a half-volley bowled by SRH’s Harshal Patel. The catch, described as exceptional by commentators Ravi Shastri and Ian Bishop, and SRH CEO Kavya Maran, showcased Mendis’s ambidextrous fielding skills.
In their IPL 2025 match at Chepauk, Sunrisers Hyderabad’s captain, Pat Cummins, chose to field after winning the toss against Chennai Super Kings.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), both performing poorly this season, face off. CSK, with only two wins from eight matches, and SRH, with six losses from eight, are battling to avoid last place and the increased likelihood of playoff elimination. Both teams have recently struggled, each winning only one of their last five games.
Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins opted to bowl first after winning the toss, citing the importance of the Chennai match following recent defeats. He expressed confidence in his team’s ability to perform well regardless of the pitch conditions, noting that while the pitch appeared somewhat dry, he expected a strong performance from his bowlers and batsmen.
Dhoni attributed Chennai Super Kings’ bowling first decision to the anticipated dew. He acknowledged the team’s subpar performance across various aspects of the game, leading to increased pressure. The team’s focus is on improving processes and evaluating different player combinations, aiming for consistency in upcoming matches. Dhoni expressed uncertainty about the current pitch condition, while favorably recalling a previous red soil pitch.
