Phil Salt’s Jaw-Dropping Catch vs RR | IPL 2025 Highlights
Phil Salt’s AB de Villiers Moment in IPL 2025
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) opener Phil Salt left fans in awe with a jaw-dropping fielding effort against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in IPL 2025. His athletic save at the boundary instantly reminded spectators of AB de Villiers’ iconic catch in IPL 2018, proving Salt’s exceptional presence on the field.
The Game-Changing Moment
This wasn’t Salt’s first spectacular fielding act this season. Earlier, against Mumbai Indians, he took a diving catch and flicked the ball to Tim David mid-air, showcasing his reflexes and agility.
A Worthy Addition to RCB
Since joining RCB, Phil Salt has been a dynamic asset, contributing 143 runs in five innings and delivering match-saving fielding performances. His versatility as a wicketkeeper-batter adds depth to the squad, making him a fan favorite.
With RR setting a target of 173/4, RCB’s openers—Virat Kohli and Phil Salt—will need a strong start. The team must maintain a run rate of 8.7 to secure victory.
