Hyderabad: The 57th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 is being played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. In this match, Lucknow captain KL Rahul had won the toss and decided to bat first, which has not proved to be so effective so far. Lucknow had a very bad start. The first blow to LSG was in the form of Quinton de Kock. While trying to hit a six, he was caught by Nitish Kumar Reddy at the boundary. However, Nitish took a brilliant catch and showed him the way to the pavilion.
Amazing catch by Nitish Kumar Reddy
Actually, Bhuvneshwar Kumar was bowling the third over of the innings of Lucknow Super Giants for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Quinton de Kock was on strike on the first ball of his over. De Kock fired in the air on the very first ball of Bhuvi’s over and tried to score 6 runs. But Nitish Kumar Reddy posted at the boundary did wonders.
He first jumped in the air and caught the ball. Then he felt that he would touch the boundary rope, so he tossed the ball in the air and balanced himself by placing one foot outside the boundary and then came back to the field and completed the catch. His catch stole the show. De Kock was out after scoring just 2 runs. Let us tell you that this is an important match for both the teams from the point of view of playoffs.
