In LSG’s chase of 236 against KKR, Mitchell Starc delivered a game-changing moment in the 2nd over. Facing Starc’s delivery, Arshin Kulkarni attempted a flick shot but mistimed it, resulting in a thick leading edge.
Amidst the anticipation of the crowd, the ball seemed to hang in the night sky indefinitely before descending. However, Ramandeep Singh, stationed at the covers, showcased exceptional athleticism. Sprinting backward, he maintained focus on the ball’s trajectory and executed a remarkable diving catch.
The crowd erupted in awe as Ramandeep’s breathtaking effort secured KKR a breakthrough and sent Kulkarni packing for just 9 runs. The wicket has left LSG reeling at 20/1 after the end of 2 overs.
Earlier, Kolkata Knight Riders concluded their innings on a high note, amassing a strong total of 235 runs on the board. The venue witnessed its first-ever breach of the 200-run mark in T20 cricket, highlighting Kolkata’s exceptional batting performance.
Phil Salt and Sunil Narine set the pace early on, with Narine leading the charge after Salt’s departure. With Narine’s impressive 81-run knock and valuable contributions from Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Andre Russell, Kolkata’s innings concluded with a flourish, courtesy of Ramandeep Singh’s (25*) explosive cameo.
