untakeable
Impossible to seize
Untakeable describes something that cannot be taken, seized, or captured.
The term appears most often in sports contexts, where an untakeable lead is one too large for opponents to overcome, or in military contexts, where an untakeable fortress is impregnable.
In cricket and football, an untakeable catch or save refers to a ball that no player could reasonably be expected to secure.
