Amit Mishra Catch: LSG vs SRH – Delhi Capitals owner Paarth Jindal may not have kept his promise of erecting a statue of Amit Mishra outside Feroz Shah Kotla stadium. But the veteran has once again sent a reminder that age is just a number. PLaying for Lucknow Super Giants, he bowled a terrific 2/23 spell but it was his catch of Rahul Tripathi that left fans in awe. Fans called him ageless as the veteran returned to IPL against Sunrisers Hyderabad for the first time since IPL 2021 where he played just 4 games. Follow IPL 2023 LIVE Updates on InsideSport.IN.

“Feeling good. I’ve done a lot of hard work, especially in fielding. I was just trying to vary my pace and bowl slower. Whatever I can do, I’m doing in the fielding! I got some time on that (the catch)! The red soil has little bounce and less spin; black soil was slower and lower, though not turning much,” Amit Mishra said after the game.
