Manish Pandey proved again why he is regarded as one of the best fielders in the Indian circuit. Today, while the Kolkata Knight Riders were trying to defend 13 runs, Pandya flew to his left to take a one-handed blinder, dismissing Tim David in the 18th over!

The catch earned immense appreciation from players from both sides, and jaws dropped even in the RCB dugout. Kartik Tyagi, who bowled the shortish ball, looked stunned watching Pandey fly for the ball. Even after taking the catch, Virat Kohli congratulated him with a little hug.

In the fifth ball of the 18th over, Tyagi delivered a short ball outside off. David tried to hit towards the backward point. Pandya dove to his left and lunged low enough to keep his fingers underneath the ball, taking an impossibly low catch. The umpires gave a good check and then rewarded Manish with the wicket.

A magnificent century from Virat Kohli powered the Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a six-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders in Raipur. Chasing 193, RCB reached 194/4 in 19.1 overs with Kohli remaining unbeaten on 105 off 60 balls, smashing 11 fours and three sixes at a strike rate of 175.

Earlier, KKR posted a competitive 192/4 after strong knocks from Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Rinku Singh. Raghuvanshi anchored the innings with 71 off 46 balls, while Rinku finished unbeaten on 49 from 29 deliveries. Cameron Green added 32 as KKR accelerated in the latter half. Josh Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Rasikh Salam picked up one wicket each for Bengaluru.

RCB's chase started positively before Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal stitched together a crucial partnership. Padikkal contributed 39 off 27 balls, while Rajat Patidar chipped in with 11. Kartik Tyagi impressed with the ball for KKR, claiming 3/32, but Kohli's controlled aggression ensured Bengaluru crossed the target comfortably with five balls remaining.
