In the IPL 2024 match between RR and KKR at Eden Gardens, Avesh Khan of RR showcased his fielding brilliance with a spectacular catch off his own bowling, sending KKR’s opener Phil Salt back to the pavilion for just 10 runs. Salt, aiming to accelerate KKR’s innings during the powerplay, struck a powerful shot towards what seemed like a boundary, only to be thwarted by Avesh’s lightning-fast reflexes.
Avesh Khan’s agility was on full display as he dove low to his left, managing to grasp the ball firmly in one hand, much to the amazement of everyone watching. The catch not only provided RR with an early breakthrough but also set the tone for their fielding performance.
The celebration that ensued captured the camaraderie within the Royals camp. Sanju Samson, quick to join the jubilation, humorously handed one of his gloves to Avesh Khan, who then placed the ball inside it and proudly displayed it towards their team’s dressing room. This lighthearted exchange not only celebrated Avesh’s remarkable catch but also highlighted the team’s ability to find joy in the game amidst intense competition.
