Ambati Rayudu’s Heroics Seal Narrow Win for Konark Suryas Odisha
In an intense opening match of the Legends League Cricket 2024, Konark Suryas Odisha pulled off a thrilling two-run victory over the Manipal Tigers, largely thanks to Ambati Rayudu‘s spectacular fielding effort. The Tigers had a modest target of 105 runs to chase, but found themselves struggling at 21/5 by the ninth over, with the Suryas bowling unit taking charge early on. Despite a recovery by Asela Gunaratne and Daniel Christian, the match went down to the wire with the Tigers needing three runs off the final ball.
Rayudu’s sensational diving catch off Irfan Pathan‘s slower delivery in the final over became the highlight of the match, clinching the victory for the Suryas. The Tigers, with a brilliant middle-order resurgence, came close to sealing the game. However, Rayudu’s athleticism at the boundary turned the tables in favor of his team, leaving the Tigers heartbroken.
