Phil Salt scored 10 before getting caught and bowled by Avesh Khan.

The clash between the table-toppers unfolded at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, with the second-placed Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) facing off against the first-placed Rajasthan Royals (RR). The outcome of the match holds the key to claiming the top position on the table, adding intensity for both teams. Rajasthan Royals won the toss and chose to bowl first.

Boult started with the ball, showing brilliance right from the start. On the second ball of the innings, he nearly dismissed Salt for a duck, but unfortunately, Riyan Parag dropped the catch, appearing to underestimate the chance. However, RR bowlers remained calm, and with a steady line and length, they kept on putting pressure on the Knight Riders’ batting lineup.

In the fourth over, Avesh Khan delivered a short ball that tempted Phil Salt into a flat-batted retaliation. However, Avesh displayed exceptional athleticism, diving to his left to complete a remarkable one-handed catch. The stadium went silent as Avesh celebrated the extraordinary caught and bowled dismissal, marking a pivotal breakthrough for the Royals as KKR lost their first wicket at 21 runs.
