Along with Mohammad Nabi, who has taken five catches in a single IPL match?

Along with Mohammad Nabi, Daryl Mitchell has taken five catches in a single IPL match.

Mitchell achieved the feat while playing for Chennai Super Kings against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2024 season. His five catches made him only the second fielder in IPL history to reach that mark, following Mohammad Nabi’s performance for Sunrisers Hyderabad against Mumbai Indians in 2021.

The record concerns catches by a non-wicket-keeper in one innings, not total catches across a season or career. That distinction matters because several famous IPL fielders—including Kieron Pollard, Ravindra Jadeja and AB de Villiers—have impressive career or seasonal catching records but are not the answer to this single-match question.

Mohammad Nabi’s five catches came in Abu Dhabi, while Mitchell’s five-catch performance occurred three years later. The achievement is especially notable in Twenty20 cricket, where each side faces a maximum of 20 overs and fielding opportunities are comparatively limited.
