Left-arm quick Yash Dayal had just dismissed Sunil Narine in the second ball of the final over of the powerplay. In the last ball of the over, Dayal bowled a full ball on the batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi’s pads, which he tried to flick away over short midwicket. For a moment, it looked like the ball would clear the fielder. But the fielder Cameron Green had other ideas.
Green stuck his right hand out in the air and held onto the catch somehow with one hand while his momentum was taking him backwards. It was also the final ball of the powerplay and RCB had managed to even out the proceedings a bit after the thrashing they had received earlier.
Cameron Green came back into the playing XI for this match after missing the last two games. He was dropped from the side after poor performances with both bat and ball in the initial few matches. Meanwhile, RCB made three changes into their playing XI for this match with Mohammed Siraj, Cameron Green, and Karn Sharma coming back into the side.
