KKR’s dream broken because of this catch
Yes, a catch took away the dream of going to the playoffs from KKR. This catch was caught by Lucknow player Evin Lewis. Actually it happened that KKR needed 21 runs to win in the last over. Then KKR’s lethal batsman Rinku Singh played a shot for 4, 6, 6 and 2 runs in the first 4 balls. KKR needed only 3 runs to win off the last 2 balls and it was believed that Rinku would comfortably put this match in KKR’s bag.

But then there was a big change in the story. Rinku tries to end the match with a long shot off Marcus Stoinis. But instead of crossing the shot boundary, it went straight to Evin Lewis. Lewis was far away from the ball and it seemed that this catch would be missed. Then Lewis dived and took a brilliant catch with one hand. From there the match was snatched from KKR’s hand.
