Spectacular Sakariya catch

In the KKR vs RR IPL match, KKR’s famed batting order crumbled once again as the likes of Eoin Morgan and Andre Russell failed to make an impact. Dinesh Karthik, however looked in good touch and carried the KKR’s innings in the middle overs.

After getting himself set, Karthik looked to explode in the death overs. On the last ball of the 18th over, the KKR batsman tried to hit Chris Morris over extra-cover. Karthik made a solid connection and the ball was traveling at a decent pace.
