Namir Dheer gave proof of excellent fielding to Shreyas Iyer, see in the video how the PBKS captain became disappointed

Naman Dhir Took Diving Catch To Dismiss Shreyas Iyer: Naman Dheer of Mumbai Indians took a brilliant catch to dismiss Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer in the IPL 2026 match at Wankhede Stadium on 16 April. Nothing was being understood 2 balls ago, but this 26 year old player dived forward to compensate for his missed opportunity in the same over.

Naman surprised Iyer

This out happened immediately after Shreyas Iyer hit two consecutive sixes off Shardul Thakur in the 16th over during the run chase. Thakur went at a round the wicket angle and bowled a half-volley down leg, and the batsman flicked it towards mid-wicket, where Dheer ran in from the deep and caught the ball brilliantly. Despite this, Iyer had already snatched the game from MI’s grip, scoring 66 runs in 35 balls at a strike rate of 188.57, which included 4 sixes and 5 fours.

Punjab Kings win

With the help of excellent batting by Prabhsimran Singh and Shreyas Iyer, PBKS defeated MI by 7 wickets with 3.3 overs remaining in the IPL 2026 match. Prabhasimran did wonders with the bat, scoring an unbeaten 80 off 39 balls at an excellent strike rate of 205.12, which included 2 sixes and 11 fours. AM Ghazanfar proved to be the best bowler for Mumbai, who achieved figures of 2/31.

After being asked to bat first, MI scored 195/6 runs in 20 overs. Quinton de Kock top scored by scoring unbeaten 112 runs in 60 balls, which included 7 sixes and 8 fours. Arshdeep Singh performed brilliantly with the ball, taking 3 wickets for 22 runs in his 4 overs. Meanwhile, Marco Jensen and Shashank Singh also took one wicket each.

‘Shreyas ki Sena’ on top

With this win, Shreyas Iyer’s Punjab Kings also completed a hat-trick of wins over Mumbai Indians in the IPL. In their two meetings last season, they had defeated the five-time champions by 7 and 5 wickets. With 4 wins in 5 matches (including one match canceled due to rain), this Punjab franchise has now reached the top of the points table of IPL 2026. They will now host Lucknow Super Giants at Mullanpur Stadium on Sunday, 19 April.

‘Four of defeats’ for Mumbai

On the other hand, Mumbai Indians lost their fourth consecutive game this season, due to which they came at number 9 in the points table. They have achieved only one win in their opening game against KKR. The team captained by Hardik Pandya will now face Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on Monday, April 20.
