Delhi Premier League: Kunwar Bidhuri Takes A Stunning Catch In The Opening Match
Kunwar Bidhuri pulled off a stunning catch at short third man, diving full length to dismiss Manjeet. Divij Mehra claimed the first wicket for the South Delhi Superstarz with a well-placed outswinger. Manjeet stayed in his crease and took a risky cut shot on a good-length delivery outside off stump. The ball flew toward third man, where Bidhuri showed remarkable fielding skills to secure the catch. Manjeet’s departure gave the South Delhi Superstarz an early breakthrough, setting the tone for the rest of the match.
The South Delhi Superstarz face a tough challenge with Purani Dilli-6 posting 197. Lalit Yadav and Vansh Bedi’s unbeaten partnership of 79 runs pushed Purani Dilli-6 close to the 200-mark. Chasing this total will require the Superstarz to perform at their best. Their batsmen will need to step up and deliver a strong performance to meet the steep target set by Purani Dilli-6. The game now rests on how well the Superstarz can handle the pressure and execute their chase.
