The Indian Premier League is usually known for the big sixes, but some brilliant catches have always been taken in all seasons.

As we get closer to the end of the tournament, here’s a look at the top five catches from IPL 2018.

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Alex Hales was looking in good touch at 37 runs off 23 balls until he was denied a six by the Spider-Man AB de Villiers. When Hales struck Moeen Ali over mid-wicket, de Villiers leaped and snatched the ball mid-air to complete a terrific catch!

Virat Kohli smashed a full toss on his pads off Harshal Patel’s delivery towards deep square, only to be stopped by Delhi Daredevils’ Trent Boult. The New Zealand player dived to his right near the boundary line, fell on his stomach and held himself back just before touching the boundary rope.

It was simply extraordinary!

After Glenn Maxwell struck a ball off Krunal Pandya in the off-side, Hardik Pandya ran a lot of distance and then dived full length to grab the ball with both hands.

Pandya sent Maxwell packing in the 14th over. Unfortunately, Maxwell’s was the last wicket for Mumbai Indians in that match and therefore they lost by 7 wickets.

5. Sanju Samson vs Mumbai Indians

Hardik Pandya was looking to end Mumbai Indians’ innings with a big flourish, but Sanju Samson had other ideas. As Pandya hit a delivery off Ben Stokes towards the mid-wicket region, Samson started running towards his right.

Samson dived forward and pulled off a brilliant catch in the last over of the innings.
