One-handed Shocker: On Thursday, May 11 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, match 56 of the current IPL 2023 will feature the encounter between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals. When Rajasthan’s skipper Sanju Samson chose to bat first after winning the toss, Kolkata Knight Riders accepted the invitation. Jason Roy and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, the KKR’s starting pair, made their way to the middle to get their team off to a hot start.
However, Shimron Hetmyer’s one-handed miracle catch in the third over of the innings put a stop to their partnership at 14, which stood at 14. Roy flicked the ball in the direction of deep square leg on the second delivery of Trent Boult’s third over. Hetmyer, who was positioned on the boundary, sprang to his full height, went for the catch with both hands and was successful in snagging the ball with his right hand.
How good was that catch by @SHetmyer to dismiss Jason Roy.

The West Indian maintained his balance in order to avoid slipping outside the fence and made one of the most amazing catches of the competition.
Gurbaz attempted to refocus the assault on the KKR bowlers after being dismissed by hitting two sixes against Sandeep Sharma in the third over. Trent Boult, though, also ended his innings by taking a catch diving to his right after hitting a straight shot to Sandeep Sharma at mid-off.
Due to the loss of both of its openers during the powerplay, KKR was reduced to 37/2 after six overs. Notably, Boult has demonstrated great ball control throughout the current season by scoring for RR in the very first over. The left-arm seamer has so far bowled three debut overs in the competition, two of which were double-wicket debuts, one each against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings.
The Kiwi seamer has only gone without a wicket twice in the nine games that have been played so far this season. In the first 10 games of IPL 2023, Boult has taken ten wickets at an average of 26.80 and an economy of 8.37.
