5 memorable moments from the KXIP vs KKR match that don’t fade away

#4 The runout

Axar Patel’s brilliant piece of fielding turned the match on its head

Kolkata Knight Riders weren’t entirely cruising to victory. In fact, if anything, they were stuttering towards the target. However, Chris Lynn’s terrific form meant that the Knight Riders had the upper hand despite losing wickets at regular intervals.

However, right after Manish Pandey was caught in the deep, Lynn fell prey to some brilliant fielding from Axar Patel. The left-arm spinner was blazing fast to get to the ball and was even quicker to release it – and, oh boy, was he accurate!

His throw was right near the stumps; all Saha had to do was grab it and smash the stumps – and he did just that, changing the course of the game, which ultimately led to Punjab’s win.
