Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) all-rounder Cameron Green took an incredible catch with one hand to dismiss Kolkata Knight Riders batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi in their ongoing IPL 2024 clash at the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata on Sunday, April 21.
The dismissal occurred in the sixth over of the KKR's batting when Angkrish faced a good length delivery off RCB pacer Yash Dayal and chipped the ball nonchalantly over the mid-wicket. However, Cameron Green, who was stationed at the mid-wicket, back-tracked, kept his eyes on the ball and leapt a little to take a one-handed catch. The 24-year-old fell on his back after taking the catch.
RCB skipper Faf du Plessis was visibly ecstatic after Cameron Green pulled off a sensational one-handed blinder as he ran towards Australian all-rounder to celebrate the wicket.

After Salt's dismissal, Kolkata Knight Riders lost three more wickets in Sunil Narine (10), Angkrish Raghuvanshi (3), and Venkatesh Iyer (24) in 41 runs and they were reduced to 97/4.
