The Rajasthan Royals faced contrasting fortunes in their fielding display against the Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens. While a dropped catch proved costly in a four-wicket defeat, a moment of brilliance from Dhruv Jurel left everyone in awe. In the fifth over, Jurel executed a stunning stumping off Ravi Bishnoi’s delivery to dismiss Cameron Green. The legendary Sachin Tendulkar was left impressed by the skill and agility displayed by Jurel. Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen also hailed it as the “greatest stumping ever in cricket.” Jurel’s effort was complemented by a strong performance from the Rajasthan spinners, with Ravindra Jadeja taking two crucial wickets. However, a dropped catch of Rinku Singh proved costly as he went on to score an unbeaten 53, leading KKR to their first win of the season. Despite the loss, Rajasthan remains in third place on the points table and will face the Lucknow Super Giants next on April 22 at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.
