The 34-year-old Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Vijay Shankar grabbed an absolute screamer in the ongoing match of the Indian Premier League 2025 against the Rajasthan Royals (RR).
With his stunning catch, Vijay Shankar managed to dismiss the star Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga on Sunday, March 30, at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati.
Vijay Shankar takes a superb catch
Shankar made his IPL debut for the Chennai Super Kings in 2014 against Rajasthan Royals in Ranchi. He made his return to the playing XI of the franchise on Sunday after 123 matches and 11 years. This is the longest gap between two appearances for CSK after Ravichandran Ashwin’s 107 matches.
Meanwhile, Vijay Shankar made a major impact on the field in the 15th over of the innings. On the first ball of the over, Ravindra Jadeja bowled full and in the slot ball to Hasaranga, who went for a big slog-sweep.
The Sri Lanka all-rounder hit the ball low, which made catching very difficult but Vijay Shankar put in an athletic dive and grabbed a sensational catch.
He was in full control after taking the catch and the third umpire, after watching several replays, declared it as a legitimate catch. Hasaranga was dismissed for 4 runs off 5 balls.
