[Watch]: Ashutosh Sharma And Mukesh Kumar Collide During IPL 2025 Thriller Against MI

In a heart-stopping moment during the IPL match between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Ashutosh Sharma and Mukesh Kumar had a close call while attempting to take a catch of Tilak Varma. During the 19th over of the MI innings, cricket fans witnessed a heart-stopping moment Ashutosh Sharma and Mukesh Kumar collided while both tried to take a catch. It was the kind of accident that makes everyone hold their breath.

The Collision Breakdown

Tilak Varma, in sublime form, unleashed boundaries with ease as Mohit Sharma ran in to bowl. The delivery wasn’t the worst, but Tilak sliced it toward the off-side, a mis-hit that sent the ball high toward short third-man. Spotting the opportunity, Ashutosh Sharma and Mukesh Kumar sprinted toward the falling ball, both determined to complete the catch.

However, in the chaos of the moment, neither player backed off, leading to a collision no one saw coming. As the ball spiraled downward, both fielders approached from different angles, their eyes locked onto the ball but failing to communicate. Without a clear call, the two crashed chest-on, sending both sprawling onto the turf.
