SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) debutant Kamindu Mendis dismissed a well-set Angkrish Raghuvanshi in the IPL 2025 clash against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The match took place at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday, April 3. The right-handed batter holed out to deep backward, thanks to a stunning catch from Harshal Patel.
As a result, the right-handed batter departed for 50 runs off 32 balls, comprising two sixes and five boundaries. The Knight Riders were reduced to 106/4. During his knock, Raghuvanshi shared an 81-run partnership with skipper Ajinkya Rahane to recover the team from 16/2.
Meanwhile, the dismissal came in the 13th over of KKR’s innings. Kamindu Mendis bowled a tossed-up delivery outside off and Raghuvanshi tried to loft it over extra cover but ended up slicing it off the outside half. The ball went towards the deep backward point where Harshal Patel dived to hold on to the catch. The on-field umpire referred the decision to the TV umpire, who looked closer to check whether the ball was grounded before being caught. The replays showed that the hands were underneath the ball.
