Sri Lanka and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana took a stunning catch to dismiss Delhi Capitals’ David Warner during Match 13 of IPL 2024 on Sunday, March 31 in Visakhapatnam. Warner had got DC off to a sensational start adding 93 runs for the first wicket off 57 balls with new opening partner Prithvi Shaw.
The southpaw had completed his half-century off just 32 balls and had set himself up for a big knock before Pathirana’s brilliance in the field led to his downfall. Batting on 52, the DC opener tried to guide Mustafizur Rahman towards the third man with a reverse scoop. However, Pathirana, who was stationed at short-third man, took a mind-boggling catch diving to his right and ended Warner’s innings. His effort left everyone stunned as fans already began calling it the ‘catch of the season’.
