[Watch] UNBELIEVABLE! Dushmantha Chameera Takes the Greatest Catch in IPL History
Dushmantha Chameera stunned everyone with a flying boundary catch that fans are calling the best of IPL 2025.
What a catch! On a night where fielders have been dropping sitters and the catch efficiency in IPL 2025 is at an all-time low, Delhi Capitals‘ Dushmantha Chameera pulled off something truly unbelievable. His airborne effort on the boundary to dismiss Anukul Roy is already being called the catch of the tournament — and rightly so.
The moment came during the last over of the Kolkata Knight Riders‘ innings. Mitchell Starc was bowling, and the pressure was on. On the third ball, Starc trapped Rovman Powell in front of the stumps.
Then came the very next delivery — a full-length ball aimed at middle and leg — and Roy attempted a flick. It looked like a certain six.
But then, out of nowhere, Chameera flew to his left at deep backward square leg and plucked the ball mid-air while still in flight. It was a jaw-dropping effort — the kind you don’t get to see every day, even in the IPL.
While Starc was credited with two wickets in two balls, Chameera’s catch stole the limelight. It was more than just a wicket — it was a reminder of how fielding can turn games, entertain fans, and leave everyone in awe.

Earlier in the match, Axar Patel won the toss and chose to bowl first. That decision backfired almost instantly. KKR openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sunil Narine launched an early assault, smashing 48 runs inside the first 3 overs. They made the DC bowlers look helpless with their fearless hitting.
But the momentum didn’t last too long. DC made a strong comeback by dismissing both openers in quick succession. The middle phase of the innings saw Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Rinku Singh stabilise the KKR innings with a steady partnership.
Towards the end, Andre Russell played his part, adding the finishing touches with powerful strokes as KKR crossed the 200-run mark.
However, the final over completely turned the mood. Starc delivered a dream over — three wickets in three balls, completing a team hat-trick. But even amidst all that drama, Chameera’s gravity-defying moment will remain the biggest talking point of the night.
