WATCH: Faf-Shorey's remarkable effort pulls off PERFECT 'catch of the match'

Showing a brilliant presence of mind and an remarkable effort, Faf did not lose balance as he grabbed the catch but soon realized that he might step over the rope and scooped it towards substitute Shorey who was closely to take it and complete a clean catch

Chennai Super Kings skipper Dhoni's scintillating 48-ball unbeaten 84 went in vain after Virat-led Royal Challengers Bangalore managed to beat three times champs by one run in another in yet another edge-of-the-seat contest on Sunday. After loosing four wickets with score board reading 126/4 in 16.2 overs, CSK was doing really well to restrict RCB below par score. Meanwhile, veteran South African player Faf Du Plessis possibly took the catch of the season. Tahir, who is usually the pick of the bowlers, bowled a fuller outside off, to which Stoinis tried to hit over the long-off but failed to middle and lifted it in the air. Showing a brilliant presence of mind and an remarkable effort, Faf did not lose balance as he grabbed the catch but soon realized that he might step over the rope and scooped it towards substitute Shorey who was closely to take it and complete a clean catch.

Baby-faced Parthiv Patel's half-century and Moeen Ali's final flourish wasn't enough as Royal Challengers Bangalore put up a sub-par 161 for 7 after being put into bat. Just when 150 was looking a bit dicey, Moeen hit five boundaries to take RCB past 160-run mark.
