The ninth edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) witnessed it's first insane fielding effort as Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) Andre Russell and Piyush Chawla combined at the fence to complete a brilliant catch which sent Sunrisers Hyderbad (SRH) wicket-keeper back in the dugout.

KKR were facing SRH at the latter's backyard and in the 18th over of the Hyderabad innings which was bowled by pacer Morne Morkel, Ojha lifted him straight down the ground, hoping to collect a boundary. However Russell reached the ball, first grabbed it with his left hand and then on finding that his momentum would take him over the fence, the West Indian transferred the ball to his right hand and then threw it to Chawla who was in close vicinity. The leg-spinner had a lot of work to do as the ball was over his head, so he jumped up in the air and brought it under control with a left-handed effort.
That was a catch which deserves innumerable views.
How's that for a relay catch - @Russell12A & Piyush Chawla for @KKRiders #VIVOIPL #SRHvKKRhttps://t.co/BaTEbEVaAP
