Nishad Pai Vaidya writes about some of the best catches in IPL history. Chris Lynn's catch against the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2014 has sparked the debate yet again. Which is the best catch taken in IPL history? CricketCountry went through the archives and found a few brilliant ones that left the spectators stunned. Here is the list. 1. AB de Villiers stuns the crowd with a ripper against Royal Challengers Bangalore (IPL 2010) This was during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2010 when AB de Villiers was a part of the Delhi Daredevils. Against the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Delhi had smashed 183 and were in a zone of comfort when the opposition were 137 for seven in the 18th over. With the game moving along, de Villiers lit up the arena with a screamer. Praveen Kumar made room to Umesh Yadav and flat batted it towards long-on. De Villiers initially seemed to misjudge it, and had taken a couple of paces forward. Realising that it was sailing over him, de Villiers jumped with his hand outstretched and clutched it with one hand. He landed much closer to the boundary, with the ball's momentum taking him back. It was a remarkable catch considering how he made up for the misjudgment and the spectacular airtime. 2. Gurkeerat Singh Mann flies to dismiss Ross Taylor Taylor has a bit of a swagger, and when he hits, they stay hit. When Kings XI Punjab faced the Pune Warriors India at Pune in the IPL 2013, the game was one-sided with the tourists taking charge. It was personified by Gurkeerat Singh Mann's magnificent effort. Taylor walked across the stumps and swatted it to fine leg. Gurkeerat was in the deep, but was a little square. He ran towards his left and dived with his hands outstretched. Mid-air, Gurkeerat latched on to a ball that was traveling at some speed and then came to the ground as his teammates celebrated. The way that ball was hit, it had a boundary written all over it. Gurkeerat simply made the impossible, possible. 3. David Hussey palms one over the boundary and dives forward to take the catch David Warner and Paul Collingwood were playing for the Delhi Daredevils and had plundered the Kolkata Knight Riders. After getting his fifty, Collingwood decided to smash it. He charged down the track and hit it towards long-on. It was sailing over David Hussey, who caught it over the boundary, and as he was crossing the ropes, palmed it back into play. Once he regained his balance, he dived back onto the field of play to take it inches off the ground. 4. Chris Lynn announces himself at the IPL with a spectacular effort Lynn was an unknown player when he came into the IPL 2014, although he was a part of the Deccan Chargers and then Sunrisers Hyderabad in the previous season. He smashed 45 to take Kolkata to 150 and when they were defending it, he was the one who helped change the game. With six to get off three balls, de Villers smashed Vinay Kumar towards mid-wicket. Lynn slipped while moving forward, and saw the ball would beat him to the ropes. He then lunged back as the ball came down and held it mid-air. While landing, he ensured he curled his body, so as to avoid contact with the ropes. That was game set and match for Kolkata! 5. Johan Botha and Ajinkya Rahane work in tandem In an IPL 2012 match between Pune Warriors India and Rajasthan Royals, Johan Botha and Ajinkya Rahane pulled off something stunning. Rahul Sharma, the Pune player, lofted the ball to long-off, with Botha running back to take the catch. He took it alright, but was moving towards the boundary at some speed. Watching Rahane behind him, he just passed it on to him as a magnificent catch was completed. This was the perfect example of teamwork. 6. David Hussey sends Chris Gayle back with some brilliance The game was gone! Chris Gayle's innings of 87 had put Bangalore on the course to victory againsty Punjab in the IPL 2012 at Mohali. However, there was a short smile for Punjab. Gayle absolutely smashed one through cover, but Hussey dived to his left and held it with one hand. What made this catch difficult was how hard the ball was hit and how little time Hussey had to react and tune his body.
