The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) opener, Shubman Gill took a stunning catch diving forward, as Shimron Hetmyer mistimed one from Varun Chakravarthy in the 17th over during IPL 2021 Qualifier 2 between KKR and Delhi Capitals (DC) on Wednesday. However, much to KKR’s disappointment, the batsman returned to bat after a late no-ball call.
Shimron Hetmyer had attempted a wild slog while facing Chakravarthy and mistimed it towards Shubman Gill who dived forward to take a stunning catch at the wide long-on boundary. Hetmyer had already crossed the boundary line to the team dugout, before being recalled after replays indicated that the bowler had stepped marginally.

Shreyas Iyer got to face the ree-hit, as the batsmen had crossed, and it resulted in just a single. However, Hetmyer hurt KKR with two sixes off Lockie Ferguson in the next over, before getting run out for a 10-ball 17. DC eventually finished at 135/5, after Eoin Morgan had put them in to bat.
