Watch: KKR’s Ramandeep Singh Takes a Spectacular Catch off Starc’s Bowling

In a thrilling encounter against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) showcased their brilliance on the field, courtesy of a stunning catch by Ramandeep Singh off Mitchell Starc’s bowling.

Chasing a formidable target, Lucknow’s hopes suffered an early setback when Arshin Kulkarni fell victim to Ramandeep’s agile fielding in the very first over after smashing two boundaries. The second over saw KL Rahul and Kulkarni attempting to counter the left-arm speedster, only for Kulkarni’s flick to result in a leading edge. Ramandeep swiftly covered the ground and secured the catch with precision, setting the tone for KKR’s dominance.

Batting first, KKR’s innings was propelled by Sunil Narine’s explosive knock of 81 runs off just 39 deliveries, featuring six fours and seven maximums. Narine, along with Phil Salt, laid a solid foundation with a 61-run opening partnership. Contributions from Rinku Singh, Shreyas Iyer, and Andre Russell further bolstered KKR’s total.

Ramandeep’s prowess wasn’t limited to fielding alone, as he remained unbeaten on 25 runs off just six deliveries, including a crucial six off the final ball of the innings, guiding KKR to a commanding total of 235/6 in their allotted 20 overs.

With Ramandeep’s spectacular catch setting the tempo and KKR’s formidable batting lineup firing on all cylinders, they emerged victorious, marking another memorable moment in the IPL 2024 season.
