Watch: Dushmantha Chameera turns Superman, grabs best catch of IPL 2025 to dismiss Anukul Roy

Delhi Capitals (DC) pacer Dushmantha Chameera came up with a magical effort on the field in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The match between the two teams is taking place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

Dushmantha Chameera, who was having a tough outing with the ball, made up for that as he came up with one of the best catches of the ongoing IPL 2025. The Sri Lanka National Cricket Team's fast bowler came up with a magical effort to remove Anukul Roy and help his team finish the innings on high.

On the 4th ball of the last over, Mitchell Starc missed the yorker and offered a half volley on the pads. Anukul Roy made a great connection with his whip, and the ball was sailing over the rope near backward square leg. The ball raced off very fast off his bat, and a certain boundary was on the cards.

Dushmantha Chameera gives a brilliant effort near boundary ropes

But Dushmantha Chameera ran to his left and flung himself sideways. He stretched both his hands and managed to hang on. His fine effort not only saved six but also provided Delhi Capitals with the crucial wicket in the last over of the innings.

Even Dushmantha Chameera was a bit surprised after completing the catch and took a few seconds to get up. He potentially picked the catch of the tournament and left Delhi Capitals players stunned, who ran across to mob the Sri Lankan.

Having fun and trying to win games for my team - Angkrish Raghuvanshi

Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who played an innings of 44 runs, talked about the team's outing, saying that they have posted just above par score. He also shared his take on the wicket and said:

"It is just above par. It is a really good wicket to bat and we have to bowl really well. Our bowlers are really good and we back them. (if the wicket is gripping) Not too much. That's why we picked an extra spinner, hopefully they can extract something off the pitch. Two of our spinners are the best, hopefully that will give Anukul also confidence to bowl well his four overs.

"Honestly I have never batted at 4 before in my career, but having fun and trying to win games for my team. (on his two sixes) It is just instinctive, I went in with good intent and it came off. Did not really plan for it."
