Delhi Capitals (DC) ace pacer Ishant Sharma took a prized scalp by dismissing Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain KL Rahul early in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday. The right-hander failed to make an impact in the 200+ chase, departing for just five runs off three balls.
The dismissal came in the opening over of the Super Giants' run-chase. Ishant bowled an outswinger outside off. The ball momentarily stuck on the surface before coming onto the bat. Rahul got forward to the loft but lost his bottom hand as it came slower than expected. The ball went up high in the sky. Mukesh Kumar ran back from cover point to complete the catch on the second attempt.
