Ramandeep Singh pulled of a sensational catch that many fans and experts hailed as the "best catch of IPL 2024" during the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday. During the second over of the LSG innings, young opener Arshin Kulkarni top-edged a swinging delivery from Mitchell Starc and the ball went high up in the night sky. Ramandeep was nowhere close to the ball but he sprinted a huge distance before pulling a full body dive to complete the catch.
The effort left even the commentators awestruck as former Indian cricket team head coach Ravi Shastri screamed -Â "That's up in the air, difficult chance...ohhhhh! What a catch! Is that the best catch of the IPL?". Former India star Deep Dasgupta agreed with him and responded with an "Oh my God".Â

Coming to the match, Sunil Narine top-scored for KKR once again with 81 while Harshit Rana and Varun Chakaravarthy took three wickets each to guide the visitors to a huge win over LSG.
"Lot of runs. Poor performance overall. It was a big total. Like I said, It's a poor performance with both bat and ball. Narine in powerplay puts a lot of pressure. Our bowlers couldn't handle this pressure. That's how the IPL is. You will come against good players and that when you will be tested."
"Wicket is very good. There is a bit of bounce if you bowl hard length. It wasn't a bad pitch. 235 was 20-30 runs were above par. Our batting was poor. We prepare in advance, we talk about the opposition batters, trying to see what kind of plans we need to come up with."
"We need to execute it when we come here, but we didn't we make a couple of mistakes against Sunil and anyone who strikes well. Once we go back to dressing room, we move on from this game and see where we went wrong. Last home game, we are on the road for the next few games, we need to be little bit more fearless," LSG captain KL Rahul said after the match.
