RCB vs SRH: AB de Villiers stuns the world with a breathtaking catch [video]

We aren’t exaggerating. This was mind-blowing.

Ab de Villiers RCB vs SRH

How? How is this possible?

We are lucky to breathe the same air as AB de Villiers, let alone share the same nationality as him. He pulled off one of the all-time greatest catches during the IPL match between RCB vs SRH (Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Sunrisers Hyderabad).

As Alex Hales ploughed everything behind a booming sweep-shot, there was seemingly nothing that could prevent the ball sailing over the ropes for a six.

Whilst fans took cover, AB took flight. Flinging himself into the air, he majestically snared the ball in his right hand. But he had much more work to do. After reaching his cruising altitude, de Villiers still had to come in for a landing.

He was over the boundary rope when he took the catch but managed to weave his body back inside the field of play. The umpires were happy he had completed the catch, sending fans in the stadium into an absolute frenzy.

Watch AB de Villiers take a stunning catch here:

RCB went on to win by 14 runs, in a match dominated by the South African. AB took a star turn with the bat too, smashing 69 runs off 39 balls. He also hit a mammoth six, which cleared the roof of the three-tiered M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Watch AB de Villiers launch one out the ground here:

RCB vs SRH: Brute force wins it for Bangalore

He struck up a partnership of 107 runs off of just 57 balls with Moeen Ali to guide Bangalore to 218/6.

That partnership was to rear its head again in the next innings. De Villiers took his wonder-catch from the bowling of Ali, to dismiss the unfortunate Alex Hales.

On another day, the England batsman chalks up a six and soldiers on. But when AB is on the field, anything can happen.
