He held on to the catch despite not taking the field initially with a left hand concern. The 34-year-old had an ice pack applied to his hand for a few minutes but nothing could stop him from clutching on to one of the catches of the season.

Mohit has been in stellar form this IPL season. The right pacer went into the contest having taken six wickets in four games at an economy of 6.15. Against KKR, he bowled just the one over and went for 12 runs.

In that solitary over, Sharma was first dispatched for a six by Rinku Singh and then saw the KKR batter collect singles and two’s.

At the close of the first innings, Kolkata Knight Riders scored 179/7 from 20 overs.
