Rahul Tripathi claimed a sensational catch inside the circle to give Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) their first breakthrough. The 31-year-old’s catch sent the in-form Shubman Gill back into the pavilion early on in the innings.
After electing to bowl first, the Orange Army were off to a shaky start following Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s wayward first over, which accounted for 16 runs.
A tight second-over by Marco Jansen took the score to 24-0. Bowling his second over, Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled a lavish half-volley outside of the off-stump. Gill eyed the delivery, which was on a length to drive, and connected it well.
However, Tripathi, fielding at cover, dived full length to his weaker left side and claimed the catch with his outstretched hand. Watch the video of the catch right below:
