In the ongoing KKR and PBKS match in Ahmedabad, Rahul Tripathi Held onto a brilliant diving catch to dismiss Mayank Agarwal. Tripathi was always going for the catch after Agarwal chipped a back of a length Sunil Narine delivery to mid-wicket.
The Punjab Kings opener was probably looking to find the game between mid-wicket and deep square leg and score a boundary. However, he ended up lobbing it to Tripathi’s direct who was a couple of yards in from the boundary.
