In what is being hailed as the best catch of IPL 2025 so far, Ayush Badoni and Ravi Bishnoi combined brilliantly on the boundary ropes to dismiss an in-form Prabhsimran Singh during the match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Ekana Stadium.
Prabhsimran, who was in explosive form, had already hammered a 23-ball half-century – the fastest of the season so far – and was threatening to take the game away from LSG. With 69 runs off just 34 balls, including 9 fours and 3 sixes, the right-hander looked set for a massive score before Digvesh Rathi’s clever bowling induced a miscue.
On a flat-length delivery, Prabhsimran attempted a slog-sweep, but couldn’t get the desired power. The ball headed towards the midwicket boundary, where Ayush Badoni took a superb catch but was losing balance. In a moment of pure awareness and athleticism, he tossed the ball in the air before stepping over the ropes, and Ravi Bishnoi, alert and positioned well, completed the catch with composure.
The catch not only broke a dangerous partnership but also shifted momentum back in LSG’s favor. Fans and pundits alike have already declared it the catch of the season so far for its timing, execution, and sheer presence of mind by both fielders.
