In the first innings, the visiting team dominated the field, setting an impressive total of 235/6 in 20 overs. Sunil Narine’s explosive 81 off 39 balls and Phil Salt’s brisk 32 off 14 deliveries were instrumental in Kolkata’s commanding score.
However, Lucknow Super Giants faced the daunting task of chasing down this formidable target, with Arshin Kulkarni and KL Rahul opening the innings.
The duo made a decent start, scoring 11 runs in the initial over. Unfortunately, Kulkarni couldn’t capitalize on the opportunity and was dismissed in the second over, courtesy of an outstanding catch by Ramandeep Singh.
On the final delivery of the second over, Mitchell Starc delivered a blistering 140 kmph ball to Kulkarni. As the 19-year-old batsman from Maharashtra attempted to flick the ball, it looped off the leading edge, seemingly headed behind backward point.
However, Ramandeep, the Punjab fielder, swiftly retreated and maintained his focus on the ball, executing a perfectly timed dive to snatch a stunning catch with both hands, sending Kulkarni back to the pavilion.
