Ravi Bishnoi caught the catch of Harshal Patel as Mohammad Shami bowled to him in the last over of the match. Harshal Patel who holds the purple cap in the tournament had managed to breathe hope into an almost hopeless situation for Royal challengers Bangalore.

Harshal Patel had almost narrowly avoided being the victim of Ravi Bishnoi as he went looking for a hat-trick after dismissing Shahbaz Ahmed and Daniel Sams. Harshal pocketed a couple of boundaries but they were too late into the match as they couldn’t help him change the fate of the match which wasn’t going in his team’s favor.

His wicket was finally picked up by Mohammad Shami when he tried to go straight for a boundary but it fell short and Ravi Bishnoi picked it up in an almost impossible dive displaying marvelous fielding skills and agility as a sportsperson.

Harshal Patel might have managed to avoid losing his wicket directly to Bishnoi but fate works in mysterious ways and Bishnoi did get involved in his dismissal.
