The 31st match of the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League is currently underway at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, where the Lucknow Super Giants are taking on the Royal Challengers Bangalore. LSG skipper KL Rahul won the coin toss and decided to have a bowl first. The decision worked in his team’s favor as LSG picked up three early wickets. Jason Holder took an excellent catch to dismiss Glenn Maxwell.
Speaking about what happened at the toss first, KL Rahul and Faf du Plessis had a light-hearted moment before the Lucknow Super Giants skipper tossed the coin in the air. RCB captain du Plessis called it wrong, allowing his partner to decide who will bat first. Here’s what Rahul said after winning the toss:
“We will bowl first. I think so. If you ask me now, all teams would like to bowl first and know what they’re chasing. You know how the game is. It can go up and down. I got a couple of first ball ducks before the hundred. So it’s good.”
Twitterati react to Jason Holder taking a sensational catch
Holder is a very tall player and it is difficult for someone like him to dive the way he did to take a catch and send a well-set Glenn Maxwell back to the dressing room. Maxwell hit a shot behind square, and Holder executed a fine dive to complete a stunning catch.
Here’s how the fans on Twitter reacted to that catch which helped Krunal Pandya take a wicket:

Maxwell goes for the reverse hit, mistimes it and Jason Holder moves to his left to complete a fine catch at short third. Maxwell departs for 23 and RCB are 3 down for 44 after 5.2 overs.
