KL Rahul took a stunning diving catch on the second attempt in DC vs LSG IPL game on Tuesday.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) owner Sanjiv Goenka was seen applauding captain KL Rahul for his sharp juggling catch to dismiss Shai Hope in their ongoing game against Delhi Capitals (DC) at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday (May 14). Hope departed for 38 runs off 27 balls in an innings laced with two sixes and three boundaries. With the dismissal, LSG broke the 92-run partnership between Hope and Abishek Porel for the second wicket.

The dismissal came in the ninth over of DC's innings. Ravi Bishnoi bowled a flat delivery outside off and Hope played it straight to cover. Rahul took the catch on the second opportunity as the ball popped out of his hands in the first attempt. Goenka and the fans clapped for Rahul in appreciation.

Goenka's reaction comes days after he was seen in an animated chat with Rahul after the Super Giants lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 10 wickets inside 10 overs. Following the incident, Goenka was subjected to criticism on social media, with many suggesting Rahul leave the franchise next season.

LSG struck twice to bounce back against DC in the IPL game on Tuesday. Ravi Bishnoi and Naveen-ul-Haq dismissed Shai Hope and Abishek Porel, respectively. Porel, though, scored 58 off 33 deliveries with the help of four sixes and five boundaries.

At the time of writing, the Capitals were 132/3 after 14 overs, with captain Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubbs at the crease.
