Anukul Roy took a sublime catch at long on to dismiss the well-set Rohit Sharma in the second match of the IPL 2026, between the Mumbai Indians and Kolkata
Knight Riders. The MI opener miscued a full-toss off Vaibhav Arora's bowling, which sailed high up. Roy, running backwards from mid on, completed the catch with a stunning dive forward to dismiss the dangerous Rohit.
Athleticism at its best 😮

Vintage 'Hitman' takes down Kolkata
Rohit Sharma's blitz showed that he has still got it. It was vintage 'Hitman' show at the Wankhede, as he took the Kolkata Knight Riders bowlers apart dominantly. Chasing a daunting 221, Rohit scored runs all around the ground in a staggering 148-run opening stand with fellow opener Ryan Rickelton.
The onslaught by Rohit was so dominant that he reached his fifty off just 23 balls, his fastest in the history of the tournament. By the time he was dismissed for 78 off just 38, he had done enough damage to ensure Mumbai's win in the mammoth chase.
Peak Hitman behaviour 💙🔥
Rohit Sharma sends it 87 metres into the stands! 💙🔥
