Ravi Bishnoi ‘s Spectacular Fielding Display
The 23-year-old spinner showcased his athleticism and agility with a stunning catch to dismiss GT’s Kane Williamson.

Bishnoi’s exceptional fielding effort was hailed as one of the best catches in IPL history, captivating fans and pundits alike.
Bishnoi’s heroics with the ball were equally impressive, as he finished with figures of 1/8 in his quota of overs. Yash Thakur starred with the ball alongside him, claiming five wickets to dismantle GT’s batting lineup. Krunal Pandya also made significant contributions, bagging three dismissals to restrict GT to a total of 130 runs in 18.5 overs.
LSG laid the foundation for victory with a solid batting performance, led by Marcus Stoinis’ impressive half-century. Stoinis’s knock of 58 runs propelled LSG to a competitive total of 163/5 in their allotted 20 overs. Despite facing stiff competition from GT’s bowling attack, Stoinis anchored the innings effectively to set up a challenging target.
Following the match, LSG captain KL Rahul expressed satisfaction with his team’s performance, highlighting the importance of defending challenging totals.
