If you had watched the match Janakpur Bolts between Kathmandu Gurkhas, you might have noticed one thing. Anil Sah took five catches during Kathmandu Gurkhas’ innings where they made only 101 runs. This is the first time any player has taken five catches by a fielder in Nepal Premier League (NPL).
Has any player taken so many catches in Nepal’s other franchise leagues? Well, this has happened for the first time in Nepal’s top franchise leagues (EPL, DPL, PPL, Nepal T20 league & NPL). In the past, three players have taken four catches but none has managed to cling more than four catches.
The list is as follows:
Sagar Pun ( Kathmandu Kings XI) v Chitwan Tigers (EPL, 2017)
Sunny Patel (CYC Attariya) v Dhangadhi Stars (DPL, 2019)
Sunam Gautam (Kathmandu Knights) v Pokhara Avengers (Nepal T20 league, 2022)
