IPL 2024 | Twitter lauds acrobatic Ramandeep offering catching lessons to Jhonty Rhodes-coached LSG
Cricket isn't just about batting and bowling; it's about moments of brilliance on the field too. Kolkata Knight Riders' Ramandeep Singh showcased something similar against Lucknow Super Giants and stunned spectators with an exceptional catch that shattered Lucknow's opening stand.
Batting first, the visiting team enjoyed a fantastic time on the field setting a formidable total of 235/6 in 20 overs. Sunil Narine's explosive 81 off 39 balls and Phil Salt's quick 32 off 14 deliveries played pivotal roles in Kolkata's commanding score. However, Lucknow Super Giants faced the daunting task of chasing down this imposing target, with Arshin Kulkarni and KL Rahul opening the innings. The pair made a decent start notching up 11 runs in the initial over. Unfortunately, Kulkarni failed to 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 unleashed a 140 kmph delivery to Kulkarni. As the 19-year-old Maharashtra batsman attempted to flick the ball, it looped up off the leading edge seemingly destined to land behind backward point. However, the Punjab batter 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.
Ramandeep's remarkable effort on the field garnered widespread admiration on social media platforms, with the Twitterverse buzzing with discussions about his sensational catch.

He has given some extra runs to KKR which will be useful for the Mitchell Starc while bowling.
