Delhi Capitals (DC) pacer Dushmantha Chameera pulled off a stunning catch during the IPL 2025 match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Dushmantha Chameera’s Stunning Catch Lights Up Final Over
Although Dushmantha Chameera didn’t have the best day with the ball, he made up for it with an incredible effort in the field. The Sri Lankan fast bowler took one of the best catches of the season to dismiss Anukul Roy and give his team a strong finish to the innings.
On the fourth ball of the final over, Mitchell Starc bowled a low full toss instead of a yorker. Anukul Roy hit it cleanly towards backward square leg, and it looked like the ball would go for a six. But Chameera ran in and timed his jump perfectly to take a brilliant catch near the boundary.

Though he had a tough day with the ball, conceding 46 runs in 3 overs and taking 1 wicket, other DC bowlers stepped up – Mitchell Starc took 3 wickets, and Axar Patel and Vipraj Nigam picked up 2 each.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who scored 44 runs, said the team felt they had posted a slightly above-par total. He also shared his thoughts on the pitch. He said:
“It is just above par. It is a really good wicket to bat and we have to bowl really well. Our bowlers are really good and we back them. (if the wicket is gripping) Not too much. That’s why we picked an extra spinner, hopefully they can extract something off the pitch. Two of our spinners are the best, hopefully that will give Anukul also confidence to bowl well his four overs.”
“Honestly I have never batted at 4 before in my career, but having fun and trying to win games for my team. (on his two sixes) It is just instinctive, I went in with good intent and it came off. Did not really plan for it.”
