In the 42nd match of IPL 2024, Kolkata Knight Riders will face Punjab Kings at the Eden Gardens. The further the game progresses, the more exciting the game becomes. But in the first innings, the Punjab Kings fielders showed their poor bowling as they dropped two consecutive catches from Phil Salt. In the sixth over, Punjab Kings skipper Sam Curran dropped Salt’s catch, drawing attention.
Curran drops Salt’s Catch:
The 42nd match of the tournament will witness a classic match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings. After winning the toss, PBKS decided to bowl first. From the start, the Knights have crushed big opponents. Apart from some big goals, Punjab’s poor fielding performance caught the attention.
In the 6th over, Arshdeep Singh came to bowl and Phil Salt went on strike. When Arshdeep throws a good ball, Salt hits a single. A missed opportunity for the Punjab Kings as Curran drops the catch. The ball was hit hard and fast to the middle, but at a catchable height. Despite being at that level, Curran was unable to hold on and allowed the ball to slip from his wrists. This mishap will not benefit the Punjab Kings at all. With this sending off, Phil Salt was given a great opportunity.

The moment repeated by Rabada:
Since the start of the game, Punjab Kings have shown poor fielding. After Sam Curran misses Phil Salt’s catch, the KKR batter gets a life. That was a big moment for the team. In the seventh over, Rahul Chahar was close to dismissing Salt but Rabada missed that opportunity too. In the fifth delivery of the sixth over, Chahar bowled a slower and wider delivery which made it difficult for Salt to control the shot. The ball went towards the backward point where Rabada moved quickly, dived and touched it with both hands but unfortunately couldn’t hold on and let the ball slip away. Phil Salt got another chance.
These catch drops gave Phil Salt life. Destructive opener Phil Salt made the most of this opportunity. He made another half-century of the season and still scored 60 runs in 31 balls. He has already broken 6 boundaries and 4 violations. Sunil Narine walked away after scoring 71 runs in 32 balls. In the 11th round, Kolkata Knight Riders are at 144/1.
