Tim Southee and Karun Nair of Rajasthan Royals (RR) took an amazing catch to dismiss George Bailey off the bowling of James Faulkner during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2015 match against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) at Pune on Friday night.
Southee and Nair showed incredible athleticism and teamwork when they took the amazing outstanding catch at the boundary, not only preventing a six but also getting rid of KXIP’s skipper, who was looking dangerous after hitting 24 off 17 balls.

Australia’s ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 final hero Faulkner was Royals’ star man was well with his innings-pacing knock of 46 runs and then taking 3 for 26 with the ball.
The Punjab run chase got off to the worst possible start when Virender Sehwag (0) was out first ball of their innings, edging a Tim Southee delivery to the wicketkeeper.
And their problems compounded further with the quick dismissals of Wriddhiman Saha (7) the dangerous (7).
India test opener Murali Vijay (37) was shaping up nicely to guide the team’s run chase but his run out in the nonth over severely dampened their chances from which they simply didn’t recover.
