#4 Ravi Bishnoi vs KKR
Ravi Bishnoi’s catch helped Punjab Kings to get rid of Sunil Narine in defense of 123. The latter’s dismissal took place in the third over when Punjab Kings got their third wicket, having dismissed both the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)openers. Narine, who came at number four, pulled Arshdeep Singh’s back-of-length delivery to deep mid-wicket. It initially seemed like it would go the distance or, if not even that, will likely not land in any fielder’s hands.
However, it was a brilliant fielding effort from Ravi Bishnoi which paid off in the end as he ran a long way to take a diving catch. Narine perished for a duck, lasting four balls. The youngster was unstoppable after taking the catch and it gave Punjab Kings a massive opening.
