Rajasthan Royals left-arm seamer Mustafizur Rahman showed an outstanding display of fielding effort to save a six for his side against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. In the ninth over of the second innings, Royals seamer Kartik Tyagi bowled a well-directed bumper to Maxwell who attempted a pull shot. He got a top edge to that and the ball flew in the fine leg region. It was sailing over the ropes until Mustafizur Rahman pulled off an outstanding save.

Right on the edge of the boundary line, Mustafizur leapt in the air and stuck his left hand to get a hand to the ball and managed to flick it inside the boundary. He lost his balance and fell outside the boundary but he had flicked the ball inside the ropes. His acrobatic effort saved five runs for his side. It was a sensational effort from the seamer as he received praise from everyone present on the ground.
