Royal Challengers Bengaluru wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma pulled off a spectacular full-stretch, one-handed diving catch to dismiss Sameer Rizvi throughout the IPL 2026 clash against the Delhi Capitals. The vice-captain\u2019s good effort got here as RCB defended a goal of 176 on the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday, April 18, keeping the house side firmly on top of things.<\/span><\/p>\n RCB were sharp in the sphere, applying constant pressure on Delhi throughout the chase. Phil Salt added to the intensity with a wonderful catch within the deep to remove Karun Nair for just five runs. With Delhi reduced to 16\/2 within the third over, the Axar Patel-led side was in urgent need of a stabilizing partnership.<\/span><\/p>\n Nonetheless, RCB tightened their grip further as Bhuvneshwar Kumar struck again, picking up his third wicket of the spell with assistance from Sharma\u2019s brilliance behind the stumps. Shortly after Nair\u2019s dismissal, Rizvi edged a good-length delivery outside off stump. <\/span><\/p>\n Reacting immediately, Sharma dived to his right and prolonged his glove to finish a surprising catch just inches above the bottom, showcasing exceptional awareness and reflexes.

After kicking off his campaign with back-to-back fifties, the uncapped batter has managed just eight runs across his last three innings.<\/span><\/p>\n Delhi Capitals endured an identical setback of their previous outing on the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in 2025, collapsing to 30\/3 while chasing 164. The continued IPL 2026 clash is unfolding along the identical lines, with the visitors suffering an early top-order collapse and counting on KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs to rebuild the innings.<\/span><\/p>\n Rahul has responded positively, taking the attack to the bowlers to profit from the remaining powerplay overs. On the time of writing, Delhi Capitals have recovered barely to achieve 45\/3 after five overs.<\/span><\/p>\n Get the newest cricket news here, like us on Facebook<\/a>, and follow us on Twitter<\/a> and Instagram <\/a> for more such updates.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
