Rahul Tripathi was in the thick of the action during the final throes of the humdinger between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings, who ticked off the 165-run target with three balls to spare. For starters, Tripathi took a fantastic diving catch running in from mid-wicket, though the umpire deemed otherwise after taking a long hard look. In the ultimate over with Punjab needing just 5 to win, Rahul grassed a catch off Venkatesh Iyer that could have potentially turned the game in Kolkata’s favour.

Mavi to Rahul –
🔸 Rahul Tripathi takes a stunning catch in the deep and claims it
🔸 The umpires check, no soft signal
🔸 And after a million replays, the third umpire says the ball is touching the ground, and gives it NOT OUT. Big decision this! #IPL2021 #KKRvPBKS pic.twitter.com/cKoj6V3II0
