Punjab Kings (PBKS) player Nehal Wadhera showcased his fielding brilliance by taking a spectacular catch to dismiss Mumbai Indians (MI) opener Rohit Sharma during the IPL 2025 clash at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday, May 26. Rohit fell for 24 runs off 21 balls as Mumbai lost their second wicket with the score at 81 runs in 9.3 overs.
The crucial wicket of Rohit Sharma came in the 10th over of MI’s innings. Harpreet Brar delivered a tossed-up delivery on the leg stump, prompting Rohit to create room to go for a big shot over long-on. However, Rohit mistimed the shot, and Nehal Wadhera sprinted in from the boundary before diving forward to complete a stunning catch.
Harpreet Brar continued his impressive form in the middle overs by picking up his 10th wicket of the IPL 2025 season in the seventh match. The left-arm spinner, who was bought by PBKS for INR 1.5 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction, has been a valuable asset for the team.
On the other hand, Rohit Sharma squandered a promising start after two consecutive single-digit scores in his previous games. Rohit has amassed 329 runs in 14 matches with three half-centuries this season. MI retained him for a hefty sum of INR 16.30 crore ahead of the mega auction last year.
PBKS effectively contained MI openers Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton from converting their starts into big scores in the IPL 2025 match. Rickelton fell for 27 runs off 20 balls, including five boundaries, while Rohit’s dismissal added pressure on the MI batting lineup.
At the latest update, Mumbai were 96/3 after 11.2 overs, with Suryakumar Yadav and Will Jacks at the crease. Tilak Varma was the most recent batter to depart, managing just 1 run off 4 balls.
The winner of this match will secure a top-two finish ahead of the IPL 2025 playoffs. PBKS and MI currently hold the second and fourth positions in the points table with 17 and 16 points after 13 games, respectively.
