This Cricket Catch From Manish Pandey Was Pretty Dope, But That Hat Is Way Doper

I feel like cricket players can't have any bones in their hands. The ball is smaller and heavier than a baseball but they still have to go out there and make these ridiculous snags without any gloves. Takes flight, full extension, not a glove in sight and Manish Pandey still makes the grab. 

Pretty incredible stuff. Just another example of cricket pumping out some of the most athletic highlights in sports week after week after week. But the real star of this highlight? 

That hat is fucking sick. 

How has baseball not caught up with cricket yet in terms of fashion? In baseball you've got to wear a button up jersey and a belt. Talk about a bunch of dorks. Who the hell wants to dress in business casual to play a game? But not only do you get to rock a nice athleisure uniform in cricket, but you also get to wear a dope ass full brimmed hat if you want to. That right there is fashion. That right there is the definition of look good, feel good, play good. When you've gotta make an absurd catch at 7 but you're going out on a safari at 8. 

Beautiful catch, beautiful hat, beautiful game. 

Anyway, his team lost to the 1st place Mumbai Indians. That's it for today's IPL update.
