Punjab Kings’ 20-year-old bowler Ravi Bishnoi took a magnificent catch and gained everyone’s attention in the match against Kolkata Knight Riders. Though KKR won the match against the Kings by 5 wickets, the Punjab bowler was all everyone was talking about. 

In the third over of second innings, medium-fast bolwer Arshdeep Singh delivered a ball to KKR’s Sunil Narine. After the ball was hit high in the sky, Bishnoi ran a long way from deep square leg, took a dive at full stretch and caught the ball that had gone very high.
