Sunrisers Hyderabad cricketer, Manish Pandey’s acrobatic fielding has caught the eye of the fans during their clash against Rajasthan Royals.

On Sunday, Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad were battling in a gruelling encounter. Rajasthan Royals’ skipper Ajinkya Rahane was in beautiful touch and was anchoring the innings.

However, Hyderabad bowlers once again pulled a rabbit out of the hat and won the game quite comfortably at the end. Needing 26 runs from just 11 balls, Rajasthan batsman, Lomror went for a straight hit over long-on in the 19th over.

Most of the spectators expected it to be a six, but they saw the acrobatic fielding of Manish Pandey instead. He was placed at long on and just pulled the ball into the field with a minimal of efforts. The superb fielding got applauded by the home supporters and commentators alike.

The batsman eventually settled for two runs and Pandey saved four crucial runs for his side which proved pivotal to pressurise Rajasthan batters in the end.
