Abishek Porel will be replaced by Kl Rahul as Keeper
Young Paulel has been charged for a wicket keep mission in an ongoing match against the Kolkata Knight Rider (KKR), with KL Rahul playing as a fielder instead of wearing gloves.
Considered a really good Groveman, Abhishek Paulel pulled out some incredible saves behind the stump in the first few overs before unlocking a stunning catch in the third of the innings.
On the third sixth ball, veteran left-arm pacer Mitchell Stark bowled opener Ramamara Galbaz with a yoker length delivery and tried to squeeze it.
However, Garbuzz wasn’t very good with his shots and he managed to get the outer edge. The ball flew towards the right side of Abhishek Paulel and went down to grab a stunning low catch while diving.
With his great catch, Abhishek Paulel denied KKR and when Garbaz returned to the hut after scoring 26 runs from 12 balls when the team scored 48, KKR returned to the hut.

Starc must find a way to get better consistently ahead of time – Ian Bishop
In an interaction with ESPNcricinfo ahead of the match, Ian Bishop said Delhi Capitals (DC) captain Axar Patel should give Mitchell Starc multiple overs on a power play to make the most of the new ball.
Ian Bishop added that Mitchell Stark must find a way to play consistently with the new ball and pay his team’s wickets upfront. He explained in detail:
“Starc, you’re going to give Starc at least one if not two of the power plays. You’ll need someone else, one of the paces, to fill your best options there, and it depends on whether Dushmantha Chameera is confident in bowling enough there, or whether you need to stick to Mukesh Kumar. Targeting the stump is a weapon if he holds the length.
“I think Dushmanta Chameera is the guy I really like, so I’ll keep running on him. He’s played some games and got some wickets. He hits the guy on the deck. I think he’s worth letting you slide the ball.
“I think sometimes he’s just there. I know he has a Good Yoker when he’s ready. So considering the number of games he’s playing, I think you need to stick with him. Stark has to consistently find a better way.
