India legend Sachin Tendulkar was full of praise for Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer's mind-boggling relay catch near the boundary in the IPL 2026 match against Mumbai Indians at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, saying not just the athleticism but awareness and perfect timing made the catch special.

Iyer produced an acrobatic effort near the boundary, leaping mid-air to relay a catch to Xavier Bartlett to dismiss MI captain Hardik Pandya, in what was a stunning piece of fielding and in what was one of the best grabs so far this season that will be remembered among the best.

Taking to X, Sachin explained tha it was not just athleticism that made the catch so special but the awareness, the unbelievable awareness, timing and fitness.
