Watch: Ben Stokes Pulls Off One Of Best Catches Of All Time

Rajasthan Royals star Ben Stokes proved his worth on Thursday by pulling off an absolute unbelievable catch in the ongoing game against Chennai Super Kings. Asked to bat first, the Royals were off to a stuttering start. Ajinkya Rahane and Jos Buttler did manage to add 31 runs for the first wicket but the floodgates opened up once the former departed.  At one stage, the Royals were reeling at 78 for 5.

Ben Stokes (28) and the lower-order batsman then scored some handy runs to help the Royals put up a competitive total of 151 for 7. With much not on the board, the Royals needed a solid start with the bat and they did get one.  Dhawal Kulkarni dismissed the dangerous Shane Watson for a duck in the very first over.  In the next over, Suresh Raina was run out before Jaydev Unadkat dismissed Faf du Plessis to reduce the defending champions to 15 for 3.

And even before the table-toppers could recover from those setbacks, Ben Stokes left them stunned with what could be called the catch of the tournament so far.  In the final over of the powerplay, Kedar Jadhav slashed a wider and shorter delivery from Jofra Archer. At first, it looked like the ball would just run away to the boundary. The ball was in the air and was travelling fast. Not many would have thought what was going to follow as Ben Stokes flew in the air to his left and pulled off a stunning catch.
