Sheldon Jackson of KKR bowls a one-handed blinder to dismiss Sherfane Rutherford of RCB in the IPL 2022.
Although the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 is just six days old; the skill on display with the bat, ball, and in the field is something to behold. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) set similar high standards on the field in IPL 2022 match 6. The KKR fielders were up to the task of defending a small total of 128 runs on the board; and their athleticism in the field provided some much-needed support. Sheldon Jackson, the wicket-keeper hitter, was one of the men who led from the front.
After a poor showing with the bat, Jackson roared back with a stellar glove performance. He had three catches and a stumping in the end. But there was one catch that stuck out above the rest; and it was arguably the most crucial of them all.
Sherfane Rutherford, who had held the RCB innings together during the chase; inside-edged a Tim Southee delivery, which was spectacularly collected by Jackson, who had to dive the opposite way.

Despite their excellent fielding, KKR were on the wrong side of the result, losing by three wickets.
David Willey, Sherfane Rutherford, Shahbaz Ahmed, and Dinesh Karthik batted; with incredible bravery to keep the run chase alive and carry the game to the end.
Finally, Karthik put the game out of reach by hitting Andre Russell for a six; and a boundary to seal the victory.
The result moved RCB to sixth place in the points standings, while KKR is currently in fifth place.
