final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday, June 3.

After being asked to bat first, Phil Salt gave RCB a brisk start, smashing a four and a six off Arshdeep Singh’s first over. The England wicketkeeper-batter hit Kyle Jamieson for a delightful boundary in the second over.

However, off the fourth ball, he tried to hit the New Zealand bowler over his head for a maximum. Salt was nowhere near the pitch of the ball, but he went through with his hands. However, the ball hit the bottom half of his bat and went a long way up in the air.

Shreyas took a few steps to his right while back-tracking before turning in front to face the pitch. He got himself into a steady position and held onto a tricky catch to give PBKS a huge breakthrough. It was a massibe breakthrough as Salt, who was dismissed for a nine-ball 16, could have caused a lot of damage in the powerplay.
