"Unreal Athleticism": Ayush Badoni, Ravi Bishnoi Combine To Take Terrific Boundary Line Catch. Watch
A terrific piece of fielding caught attention during Lucknow Super Giants' home game against Punjab Kings in Indian Premier League 2025 on Tuesday. PBKS batter Prabhsimran Singh tried to play a slog-sweep but mistimed it. He ended up hitting it high in the air, keeping the deep mid-wicket fielder interested. Ayush Badoni was the man stationed there. He took the catch on the edge of the boundary line and released the ball from his hands before crossing the ropes. An aware Ravi Bishnoi was running towards his fellow fielder from deep square leg and managed to grab the ball thrown by Badoni, thus completing the catch. "Unreal Athleticism," wrote LSG while sharing the video on social media.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Prabhsimran scored an explosive 69 off 34 balls as Punjab Kings cruised to an eight-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday for their second win this IPL.
Punjab chased down the target of 172 set by Lucknow with nearly four overs to spare, and captain Shreyas Iyer remained unbeaten on 52 off 30 balls.
Playing their first home game of the season, Lucknow Super Giants started poorly, losing in-form opener Mitchell Marsh for a golden duck in the first over of the match to Arshdeep Singh.
Marsh's opening partner Aiden Markram hit Arshdeep for three boundaries in his next over but fell for 28 off 18 soon after to New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson, who was playing his first match for the Kings.
Captain Rishabh Pant's stint at the crease was short-lived getting out for just two runs from five balls, leaving Lucknow reeling at 35-3 just prior to the end of the powerplay.
Nicholas Pooran and Ayush Badoni steadied the innings with a 54-run
