Watch: Varun Chakravarthy Takes A Sensational Diving Catch To Dismiss Prithvi Shaw – The match between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders took place in Vizag during an IPL 2024 game. KKR won the toss and decided to bat first. KKR had an impressive start, scoring an incredible 272 runs in just 20 overs. Sunil Narine put on a brilliant display, scoring 85 runs off just 39 balls. Angkrish Raghuvanshi had a great performance, scoring 54 runs off 27 balls, while Andre Russell also contributed with 41 runs off 19 balls. Rinku Singh once again proved his worth in the closing moments, scoring an impressive 26 runs off just 8 balls.
The DC bowlers were struggling to contain the opposition’s powerful hitting. The KKR batters were absolutely on fire, hitting a flurry of sixes and boundaries. There were hardly any dot balls as the KKR batters were relentlessly hammering every bowler, sending the ball flying all around the ground.
When the Delhi Capitals’ openers, Prithvi Shaw and David Warner came to bat in the second innings, they had no other option than to go after every ball. The DC batters had no choice other than batting in the ultra aggressive mode if they wanted to go even close to the target.

Vaibhav Arora, who was brought into the game as the impact player for KKR, provided the impact in his very first over. Arora bowled an in swinger to Prithvi Shaw, who tried to clear the mid on, who was inside the circle. However, he did not find the middle of the bat as the bat turned in his hands. He miscued the shot and Varun Chakravarthy took a perfect diving catch inside the circle to send him back. The umpires referred it to the TV umpire to check the catch and the replays showed that Varun’s fingers were well under the ball. Chakravarthy who is not one of the best fielders in the team, took a spectacular catch to help KKR pick up the first wicket of the game.
An excellent diving catch by Varun Chakaravarthy 👌
