DC vs SRH: Watch - Axar Patel takes stunning catch to dismiss Abhishek Sharma for 12-ball 46

Axar Patel took a sharp catch to send back Abhishek Sharma and gave his team Delhi Capitals a much-needed breakthrough in the ongoing game against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

Rishabh Pant won the toss and opted to bowl first. And it did not take long for him to regret his decision as Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head came out all guns blazing. In the very first over, Head smashed Khaleel Ahmed for 15 runs as SRH collected 19 runs.

In the second over, Head scored 17 runs as SRH raced away to 40. In the third over, Head hit Anrich Nortje for 22 runs and completed his fifty off just 16 balls. Head and Sharma then collected 21 runs off the fourth over to take SRH to 83. By the time the powerplay came to an end, SRH had raced away to a record 125 runs.

DC were in desperate need of a wicket and it finally came in the seventh over courtesy of a stunning catch from Axar Patel. On the second ball of the seventh over, Kuldeep Yadav bowled a tossed-up delivery outside the off stump and Abhishek Sharma went hard at it.

He hit the ball through extra cover although he could not keep it grounded. The ball was traveling fast and Axar Patel leapt to his left before taking a sharp catch. Abhishek departed after scoring 46 runs off just 12 balls with the help of six sixes and two fours.
