WATCH: Corbin Bosch takes an excellent catch to dismiss Rishabh Pant in LSG vs MI 2025 IPL clash

In the 16th match of IPL 2025 – between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI) – at the Ekana Stadium, a standout moment came during the 10th over when substitute fielder Corbin Bosch pulled off a sensational catch to dismiss LSG skipper Rishabh Pant.

Hardik Pandya’s slower ball does the trick

The moment unfolded on the fourth ball of the over bowled by MI captain Hardik Pandya. Bowling a slower one on a good length, Pandya induced a leading edge from Pant, who was attempting to work the ball on the leg side. The ball lobbed up towards mid-off, where Corbin Bosch – on as a substitute – charged in with determination. With great anticipation and athleticism, Bosch slid forward and completed a brilliant one-handed catch just inches off the turf. Pant’s short and unconvincing stay at the crease ended with just 2 runs off 6 balls.

The wicket proved to be a crucial breakthrough for Mumbai as Pant’s dismissal put some halt to LSG’s momentum during a high-scoring innings. Pandya, who eventually finished with figures of 5/36, celebrated the dismissal with a loud roar, clearly aware of the significance of removing the LSG captain at a pivotal stage.

Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram power LSG to 203/8

LSG posted a formidable total of 203/8 after put in to bat, riding on a fiery 60 off 31 from Mitchell Marsh and a steady 53 from Aiden Markram. Cameos from Ayush Badoni (30 off 19) and David Miller (27 off 14) helped LSG push beyond the 200-run mark despite losing wickets in the death overs.

As the chase gets underway, Mumbai Indians will need a solid start from their top order to tackle the daunting target of 204 on a pitch that still looks good for batting.
