IPL 2024: Shah Rukh Khan Reacts to Ramandeep Singh’s Stunning Catch to Remove Deepak Hooda in KKR vs LSG Encounter
In a thrilling encounter between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), KKR’s fielder Ramandeep Singh stole the spotlight with a breathtaking one-handed catch to dismiss LSG’s Deepak Hooda early in the game. Let’s delve into the details of this remarkable moment and KKR’s overall performance in the match.
Early Blow for LSG:
Opting to bat first, LSG faced an early setback as star opener Quintin de Kock fell victim to Vaibhav Arora’s bowling in just the second over of the game. The pressure intensified when Mitchell Starc, IPL’s most expensive player, struck with precision to send Deepak Hooda back to the pavilion a couple of overs later. The pivotal moment of the match occurred in the 5th over when Mitchell Starc delivered a tempting length ball wide of the off stump. Hooda, enticed by the delivery, attempted a drive, only to edge the ball towards backward point. What followed was a moment of brilliance as Ramandeep Singh, diving full stretch, plucked the ball out of thin air with a stunning one-handed catch.

KKR’s Joyous Celebrations:
The spectacular catch by Ramandeep Singh ignited celebrations in the KKR camp, with players rushing to congratulate him on his exceptional athleticism. Even KKR’s co-owner and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, accompanied by his children, couldn’t contain his excitement and offered a standing ovation to acknowledge Ramandeep’s remarkable feat. KKR’s dominance wasn’t limited to fielding alone. Sunil Narine’s economical spell in the middle overs proved to be crucial in stifling LSG’s scoring momentum. Narine’s boundary-less display, conceding just 17 runs and claiming a wicket, showcased his craft and control over the game.
As the match approached its climax, Mitchell Starc delivered a brilliant final over, conceding just six runs and claiming two crucial wickets, including that of Nicholas Pooran, who was staging a late onslaught. Starc’s exceptional bowling performance further solidified KKR’s grip on the game and ensured a challenging target for LSG.
