Punjab Kings Beat Mumbai Indians By 7 Runs | Iyer Takes 'Catch Of The Season' To Dismiss Pandya

Shreyas Iyer was at his acrobatic best as he took a fantabulous catch to dismiss Hardik Pandya in a Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings IPL 2026 match in Mumbai on Thursday. The catch came on the third ball of the 18th over bowled by Marco Jansen. Mumbai Indians had just hit a six and were starting to look dangerous. The third delivery of the over would have also gone past the boundary but for Iyer. Iyer ran in from long-on and leapt to reverse-cup the ball while airborne before throwing it to Xavier Bartlett. Replays showed that Iyer had released the ball on time. After completing the catch, Iyer gestured to the Mumbai crowd, urging them to applaud.
