Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) might have lost their IPL 2020 encounter to Mumbai Indians on Sunday (October 4) but their was a moment of magic in the field by their supremely athletic fielder Manish Pandey which left many awestruck and drew the applause of millions watching the match live on their TV sets.

Pandey, who is widely regarded as one of the finest fielders in Indian cricketing circles pulled off a stunning diving catch to dismiss MI's attacking left-handed strokemaker Ishan Kishan off the bowling of seamer Sandeep Sharma.

Pandey's jaw dropping in the 15th over of the MI batting innings as Ishan pulled off a length delivery of seamer Sharma to the long on.

Pandey who was patrolling the boundary was quick to move towards the high flying ball and dived full length to take a stunning catch. Just as when Pandey took the catch, he was almost parallel to the ground.
Pandey, also made some amends in the field as the gun fielder earlier dropped MI opener Quinton De Kock on 16 in the 7th over.

When the South African opener was batting on 16, Quinton de Kock struck on lofty hit straight to Pandey off the bowling off Abdul Samad but the fielder spilled the catch and the white cherry flew over the boundary for a six.
