Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) witnessed a great start in the IPL 2022 match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). It is the 6th match of the season, and early in the game, KKR had lost four wickets with less than 50 runs on the board. Indian medium-pacer Akash Deep has been the star of the show as he picked up a couple of KKR wickets and dismissed Venkatesh Iyer and Nitish Rana.

While Akash Deep completed a caught and bowled to send Iyer back to the pavilion, it was Englishman David Willey who completed a spectacular catch by running backward off Akash Deep’s bowling. The southpaw fast bowler made great use of the short delivery as he dismissed both the batters by pitching the ball short.

Both Iyer and Rana miscued the pull shot as the ball grew big on them as they attempted to pull their way out of trouble. While Iyer checked his shot and got a leading edge, Rana went through with his but the ball didn’t travel far enough.

Here is the video of the catch of David Willey:
