Bengaluru: Fielding is a crucial factor in modern cricket. It is as important as bowling or batting. Many a times, fielding is the difference between win and loss.


The Indian Premier League (IPL) has completed just one week of the 9th edition and we have seen many great catches being taken by various players. One such wonderful catch was taken during the Royal Challengers Bangalore versus Delhi Daredevils.

On the last ball of the first over, Daredevils opener Shreyas Iyer stepped out and miscued a big hit. The ball went high in the air towards the long-on boundary. Shane Watson sprinted back, judged it perfectly. His momentum, however, carried him towards the boundary and he looked to be crossing it. But Watson flicked it backward just before going over the edge.

David Wiese, who followed Watson from mid-off, dived, grabbed the ball and finished inches from away from the rope himself.
