Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) Dewald Brevis pulled off a stunning diving catch to end Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) opener Jacob Bethell’s impressive innings in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash. The match is being played on Saturday, May 3, at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
The breakthrough came on the fifth ball of the 10th over of RCB’s innings. Matheesha Pathirana bowled a short-of-length delivery angled across the batter. Bethell attempted a pull shot but only managed a top edge, sending the ball high over square leg. Dewald Brevis sprinted in from the boundary, covering a good amount of ground before diving forward to complete a brilliant catch just inches above the turf.
