Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Ajinkya Rahane took a blinder to get rid of Ishan Kishan cheaply in the IPL 2025 game against the SunRisers Hyderabad on Thursday at the Eden Gardens. Even as the ball kept dying on him, the 36-year-old did exceptionally well to get his hand underneath it.
The dismissal occurred in the third over of the innings bowled by Harshit Rana as Kishan went for the full-blooded drive through the off-side. However, Rahane intercepted it at short cover and took a sensational low catch.
Watch Ishan Kishan’s dismissal below:
Kolkata Knight Riders score 200/6 after half-centuries from Venkatesh Iyer and Angkrish Raghuvanshi
Half-centuries from Venkatesh Iyer and Angkrish Raghuvanshi have lifted the Kolkata Knight Riders to an imposing 200/6 against the SunRisers Hyderabad at the Eden Gardens on Thursday. Venkatesh Iyer was particularly explosive at the death as the defending champions clobbered 78 runs off the last five overs.
SunRisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins had won the toss at the Eden Gardens and opted to bowl first as the IPL 2024 finalists clash on Wednesday. The right-arm speedster reasoned that it looks like an excellent wicket to bat on and suggested that it’s unlikely to change too much in the second half.
