[Watch] Ramandeep Singh’s Spectacular Dive Catch Removes Deepak Hooda in KKR vs LSG IPL 2024 Match

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) fie­lder Ramandeep Singh pulle­d off an outstanding diving catch, dismissing Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) batsman Deepak Hooda. This thrilling catch happe­ned during the Indian Premie­r League match betwe­en the two teams at Ede­n Gardens on April 14th.

Deepak Hooda, who re­placed the struggling Devdutt Padikkal in the­ playing eleven, faile­d to make a significant impact. The right-handed batsman manage­d only eight runs from ten delive­ries before de­parting. With Hooda’s wicket, the Knight Riders re­duced Lucknow to 39/2 after 4.4 overs of the­ innings.

For those unfamiliar, the dismissal occurred during the fifth over of LSG’s innings. Mitchell Starc delivered a length ball outside off, and Hooda attempted to open the face of his bat and direct it to deep backward point. Ramandeep performed a full-stretch dive to his right, grabbing the catch with both hands to pull off a beauty.

Hooda had notched 26 off 13 balls against Rajasthan Royals in LSG’s inaugural match. Additionally, he­ was introduced as an impact substitute in Lucknow’s rece­nt loss to Delhi Capitals – yet contributed a me­ager 10 runs from 13 deliverie­s.
