IPL 2023, DC vs MI: Abhishek Porel changes the course of the DC vs MI game, takes one of the best catches

Rohit Sharma was looking pretty threatening in the DC vs MI game as he had smashed 65 runs off just 45 deliveries including 6 fours and 4 monstrous sixes. David Warner decided to throw the ball to his dead bowling specialist Mustafizur Rahman in the 17th over of the game.

On the 5th delivery of the 17th over, Mustafizur Rahman tried bowling a wide yorker against Rohit Sharma. The MI skipper was quite keen to glide the ball toward the third-man region and get some runs. However, he could only manage a thick outside edge.

The ball flew towards the right side of the wicketkeeper Abhishek Porel as he dived to grab a one-handed blinder. The third umpire checked for the bump ball but it was a clear outside edge. Abhishek Porel grabbed it cleanly as Rohit Sharma had to take the long walk back to the pavilion.

The Mumbai Indians side had just lost the wickets of Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma in the previous over. Moreover, Abhishek Porel took one of the best catches of IPL 2023 to get rid of Rohit Sharma which made the game turn on its head and allowed the DC franchise to make a comeback.

Tim David and Cameron Green struggled a bit on a slow Delhi wicket as the DC bowlers took the game to the last over. The Mumbai Indians side needed 5 runs off the last over and they eventually won the game by scoring a couple on the final delivery of the DC vs MI game.
