It was the moment for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Wankhede Stadium last night. RCB pulled out their level best to defeat Mumbai Indians (MI) almost after a decade at their home ground. The match was full of exciting moments, from playing fearless shots to jaw-dropping fielding, a pure team game from the Rajat Patidar-led XI.

In the 20th over of MI's innings, Phil Salt and Tim David combined together to accomplish an infeasible catch near the boundary ropes. It was the very last over of the match; Deepak Chahar was on the strike, facing Krunal Pandya. The former IPL champion side then needed 19 off 5 balls for a historic win over Bengaluru.
Chahar had to go big, and he tried to swing his bat and sent the ball towards deep midwicket. The ball was high in the air; two RCB fielders, Phil Salt and Tim David, both were rushing towards the boundary line. The next thing that happened was forcing the Wankhede crowd to erupt in loud cheer.
It was a running Salt who first grabbed the ball with his safe hands and then passed it towards his teammate David. David, under pressure, did not make any mistake to complete the catch. Chahar leave the field with a golden duck, and Krunal bagged a total of 4 wickets. Will Jacks, Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, and Deepak Chahar fall short against the Indian spinner.
Respect to Phill salt for this freak catch 🥶💀❤️🔥
