New Delhi: It surely was a 'WOW' moment, if not probably the best moment of the IPL 2017 season so far. Kings XI Punjab's Manan Vohra on Friday produced a stunning fielding effort against Sunrisers Hyderabad to deny Kane Williamson a six. Yes, it was going for a six, 99.99% for sure.
Williamson did very well to predict a Ishant Sharma short ball, and hit it over mid-wicket for a six, or it looked. At the boundary though, there was Vohra, ready to conjure up some magic.
Vohra took a giant leap, timing his jump to perfection, and blocked the ball from crossing over the boundary mid-air. Then, before falling to ground, he dunked the ball into the field, thus saving four runs. Pure magic.
Watch that breathtaking effort here:
The hosts, however, failed to contain the defending champions, allowing David Warner & Co to score 207/3 in 20 overs' play. Warner himself scored 51 off 27 balls, and with Shikhar Dhawan 77 (48) he shared an opening stand of 107 runs in 10 overs.
Then, Williamson took over, scoring an unbeaten 54 off 27 balls.
