New Delhi: The saying 'catches win matches' has been a mantra for the game of cricket and we have witnessed some amazing and jaw dropping catches over the years. The Indian Premier League filled with both international and local talent has also produced some amazing catches that changed the complexion of the game.Let's have a look at the 10 best catches in the history of IPL:CHIRS LYNNChris Lynn's theatrical catch on the boundary to dismiss RCB's AB de Villiers with two balls to go was the defining moment in KKR's two-run win at Sharjah in the IPL 2014. He slipped before taking the catch, got up and managed to grab a sensational catch which left everyone stunned! RCB needed 6 runs to win but this catch turned the game around in the last over to KKR side. One of the best in IPL history!RICKY PONTINGLast year in IPL, Mumbai Indians skipper Ricky Ponting took this catch on the first ball of Mumbai Indians v Delhi Daredevils game in Mumbai on 9th April, 2013. Young Unmukt Chand faced the first ball of the 2nd innings, bowled by Harbhajan Singh. Ricky Ponting, who was at extra cove position,jumped like superman and held on the ball with his right hand.GURKEERAT SINGHThe little unknown lad from Punjab, Gurkeerat Singh, took something most of us and even most cricketers would find hard dreaming. In IPL 2013, the Pune Warriors batsman Ross Taylor had played one of his favourite shots and must have added 6 to his tally but our man had better ideas. The celebrations after the catch were as good as the catch itself. KIERON POLLARDKieron Pollard took a stunning catch of MS Dhoni in the match Chennai Super Kings v Mumbai Indians, IPL 6, Chennai, April 6, 2013. This outstanding catch was the tuning point of that match. Mumbai Indians won the game by 9 runs.DAVID HUSSEYIn IPL 2010, Delhi Daredevils' Paul Collingwood hit KKR's Charl Langeveldt down to long-on and the ball looked like it would cross the boundary. But David Hussey had other plans as he caught it mid-air over the rope, tossed it back onto the right side of the boundary and dived to complete a superb effort! AJINKYA RAHANEDelhi Daredevils vs Rajasthan Royals, it was the 4th match of IPL 6. Ajinkya Rahane of Rajasthan Royals took an awesome catch in this match. Ajinkya Rahane was standing at cover point and took the catch of DPMD Jayawardene. Rajasthan Royals won this match by 5 runs.AB de VILLIERSWhen it comes to pyrotechnics on the field, you can't leave South Africa's AB de Villiers far behind. In 2010, de Villiers, then playing for the Delhi Daredevils, took this jaw-dropping one handed catch to dismiss RCB's Praveen Kumar at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. For a moment, everyone thought he had dropped it due to the almost impossible physics involved. But then the smile on the face said it all.RAHUL DRAVIDOld is Gold, Its again approved by Rahul Dravid. He took an extra ordinary catch in 13th match Pune Warriors v Rajasthan Royals in IPL 6. He took the catch of Robin Uthappa from Mid on or near short mid on. Pune Warriors won this match by 7 wickets with 8 balls remaining.KIERON POLLARDIts Kieron Pollard again! He has come up with quite a few spectacular efforts on the field.The best of the lot was in the match against Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2013. It happened in the fourth over, bowled by Pragyan Ojha. Shaun Marsh hit the ball flat over the bowler's head and it looked set to fetch him a maximum. However, out of nowhere, Pollard leapt in the air and pulled off a brillaint one-handed effort. The catch was a significant one as Mumbai won by four runs.DWAYNE BRAVOIn IPL 2012, against Kings XI Punjab, Bravo sprinted forward and to his right from long-off to get under a mis-hit from Piyush Chawla, he then had to leap in the air as the ball descended, arching his body and catching the ball in mid air, holding it safely as his body slammed into the ground. What a tremendous catch that was!
