In the final overs, Ramandeep Singh provided the finishing touches with an unbeaten 25 off just 6 balls, pushing KKR past the 230-run mark. His cameo further boosted KKR’s total and left LSG facing a daunting target in their chase. Overall, KKR’s innings was characterized by aggressive batting, effective partnerships, and a relentless pursuit of runs, setting the stage for an enthralling contest.
Ramandeep Singh takes a stunner
Lucknow Super Giants opened with KL Rahul and youngster Arshin Kulkarni. The young batter started with a boundary and was looking solid but his innings was cut short due to a fielding brilliance by Ramandeep Singh. He covered almost 21 meters to take the catch
Arshin Kulkarni was the batsman dismissed on 9. He attempted to flick a length ball from Starc but only managed to get a leading edge. The ball looped up in the air, appearing as if it would land safely between two converging fielders. However, Ramandeep Singh, stationed at cover, had other plans. He sprinted backward, maintained focus on the ball, and executed a perfectly timed dive to grasp the catch with both hands, sending Kulkarni back to the pavilion.
