IPL 2022, DC vs KKR: Rishabh Pant’s One-Handed Blinder To Dismiss Shreyas Iyer. Watch | Cricket News

Delhi Capitals put in a much-improved performance against Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday and this helped the Rishabh Pant-led side register their fourth win of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Kuldeep Yadav returned with four wickets as Delhi Capitals restricted KKR to 146/9 and in the end, Delhi registered a win by four wickets with six balls to spare. In the 14th over of KKR’s innings, Pant’s agility and reflexes came to the forefront as he took a stunning catch to send KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer back to the pavilion.

Kuldeep Yadav bowled a googly and it turned away from Iyer. The ball stayed low outside off, and Iyer managed to get a bottom edge. The ball landed near Pant’s boot, and the wicketkeeper stuck out his right hand.

The Delhi Capitals skipper managed to hang on and Iyer walked back to the hut.
