IPL 2023 [WATCH]: 40-year-old Amit Mishra grabs a stunning catch to see off Rahul Tripathi in LSG vs SRH clash

[Brexiter]

Lucknow Super Giants’ (LSG) decision to sign leg-spinner Amit Mishra at the 2023 IPL auction for a sum of INR 50 lakh paid off well. Despite being 40 years old and playing only T20 cricket, Mishra proved his worth in the IPL 2023 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Friday, April 7.

Mishra’s brilliance was not just limited to his bowling performance. He took a stunning catch at short third-man to dismiss SRH batter Rahul Tripathi.
