IPL 2026: KKR vs LSG - Wickets Fall as Rinku Singh Takes Spectacular Catch

W Overs13.6 Score89 - 4 Varun Chakaravarthy to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! CAUGHT! Pooran falls into the trap set by Rahane and Varun. Chakaravarthy continues to bowl a quicker one, full and wide of off, Nicholas Pooran chases this and looks to loft this over covers but gets only an outside edge that goes straight into the hands of a very fine short third. Sunil Narine takes a sharp catch there. 1wd Overs13.4 Score89 - 3 Varun Chakaravarthy to Nicholas Pooran, WIDE! Once again, Varun fires this full and wide outside off, flirting with the tramline. Nicholas Pooran doesn't offer any stroke at it, expecting a wide, but the umpire keeps his arms down. Pooran sends this upstairs for a review. The replay shows that there is nothing inside the tramline, and this turns out to be an excellent review by Pooran. Wide given. W Overs12.2 Score78 - 3 Sunil Narine to Rishabh Pant, OUT! GONE! Narine strikes and strikes big, putting an end to this budding stand. He keeps KKR well and truly alive in the contest. Quicker and fuller, wide outside off, Rishabh Pant goes for a reverse sweep but misses and loses his balance as well. Tim Seifert gathers this on the second attempt and appeals for a caught behind but the umpire denies it. Ajinkya Rahane sends this upstairs for DRS. A clear spike on the UltraEdge as the ball is next to Pant's glove. An excellent review by KKR, forced by Tim Seifert and the home side loses their skipper. As they say, you live by the sword and die by it as well. Pant falls and the Super Giants are 78/3, chasing 156. Is that a clean grab? If it is, then Rinku Singh has pulled off a blinder here. He looks very confident and the third umpire is called upon. The replay shows that Rinku has kept his foot inside the ropes before releasing the ball and it is a fair catch. Markram has to walk back. W Overs10.2 Score65 - 2 Cameron Green to Aiden Markram, OUT! A SPECTACULAR CATCH! Rinku Singh cannot do anything wrong in this match and one can see how much it means to Cameron Green and KKR. On a fractionally fuller length, on the off stump line. Aiden Markram gets on the front foot and tries to clear the long off fence, but seemingly does not hit it off the middle of the bat. The ball still has the wheels to clear the ropes, but Rinku comes charging across to his right from long off and plucks it. But as soon as he realises that the momentum is taking him over the ropes, he lobs the ball up in the air, balances himself nicely, comes back in the playing area and takes it in the second attempt. The replay shows that no part of his boot is in contact with the ropes while holding the ball. Not the tallest man out there, is Rinku, but he always is a live-wire in the field. Lucknow Super Giants are 65/2 as the dangerous Aiden Markram walks back to the hut. Strategic Break! Despite losing a wicket, Lucknow Super Giants have done well through Aiden Markram and Rishabh Pant to steady the ship. Even though the boundaries may be hard to come by, they have done well to rotate strike and run the game along. LSG know that if they keep wickets in hand, even if the asking rate goes up slightly, they can manage it. Kolkata Knight Riders have done well to keep the runs in check, but they have to pick up wickets to make a game out of this one. Here is Kartik Tyagi to bowl after the break.
