On-field brilliance! Nitish Kumar Reddy and Sanvir Singh’s stunning catches rock LSG early. Watch | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Sunrisers Hyderabad players exhibited a sheer display of athleticism on the field that put their opponents Lucknow Super Giants in early trouble during their IPL 2024 match in Hyderabad on Wednesday.
SRH fielders Nitish Kumar Reddy and Sanvir Singh exhibited outstanding fielding skills with their brilliant catches. Their athleticism and quick reflexes were on full display during the match.Both players showed great commitment on the field, contributing significantly to their team’s defensive efforts.
Nitish first came up with a superb presence of mind when LSG opener Quinton de Kock whipped Bhuvneshwar Kumar over backward square leg in the third over.

The ball appeared to be sailing over Nitish’s head, but he remained composed, timed his jump perfectly, and managed to catch it. As he realized he was stepping onto the boundary ropes, he cleverly lobbed the ball back into play, briefly went over the boundary, and then quickly returned to complete the catch.
Bhuvneshwar’s next over saw another gem of a fielding effort this time it was Sanvir who pulled off a blinder to give LSG another jolt.
Marcus Stoinis‘s shot hit high on the bat and looped towards mid-on. Sanvir sprinted across, dove forward, and skillfully managed to get his fingers underneath the ball. After confirmation by the third umpire, Stoinis was given out, and Sanvir’s exceptional effort resulted in the crucial wicket.
Earlier, Lucknow skipper KL Rahul won the toss and elected to bat in their must-win IPL clash.
South African wicketkeeper-batter Quniton de Kock was the notable player to be included in the LSG playing XI, while left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan missed out due to injury.
