Shreyas Iyer is not only a good captain, good batsman but also an excellent fielder. He has proved this once again in the match against Mumbai Indians. He took the catch in such a spectacular manner that even Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav sitting in the MI dugout were left speechless. This video of Shreyas’s acrobatic style is also going viral.

This is the case of the 18th over of Mumbai Indians’ innings. Marco Jansen was bowling and Hardik Pandya was in front. Hardik missed the shot on the second ball of the over. Still the ball had reached the boundary line. But captain Shreyas Iyer took the catch on the boundary line and tossed the ball inside the field while it was still in the air before it fell across the boundary. Xavier Bartlett standing there completed the catch.

Rohit-Surya’s reaction goes viral

On one hand, Suryakumar Yadav gave a shocked reaction, his mouth was left open. Rohit Sharma also could not believe that such an amazing catch could be taken. This catch of Shreyas was special because he took the catch by jumping in the air and threw it within the boundary line in the air itself. It is very difficult to do this in that short span of milliseconds. It is already being called the catch of the season of IPL 2026 on social media.

SHREYAS IYER, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!

One of the best catches you would see in the #TATAIPL history
