WATCH: David Willey grabs a scorcher while sprinting backwards to dismiss Nitish Rana
The cash-rich Indian Premier League has often witnessed sensational fielding skills. Fielders have often raised their standards and by doing so, they have taken some incredible catches during the passage of play.
Meanwhile, David Willey hogged the limelight by taking a scintillating catch to dismiss Nitish Rana during the game between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai.
Nitish Rana who came out to bat at number four looked pretty solid at the crease when he struck a six and a four. However, he couldn’t dictate terms in the longer run as Akash Deep got rid of him in the sixth over.
