Lucknow’s hero in LSG vs GT match took the first fifer of IPL 2024 against Gujarat Dismissing the New Zealand batter, Bishnoi caught Williamson off his bowling as he leaped sideways. Praising Bishnoi, LSG fielding coach Jonty Rhodes decoded the catch and said, as quoted by IPL, "If you don't put your hands there, you never know. Someone like Ravi, he completely exhausts me and never misses a single day of practice.
If we're at the ground, he will take catches every single day. So, he works hard on his bowling, not so hard on his batting. But when it comes to fielding, he is never sitting in the dug-out and never hiding in the dressing room." “You can have some difficulties when you're bowling and you have to react like that.
The great thing about that catch was that he went backwards and gave himself time. Often when you see the ball, go you across with hard hands. So seeing that reaction in less than a second was great." Apart from Bishnoi, the other highlight of the match was LSG's pacer Yash Thakur, who registered the second-best bowling figures for LSG in the history of the IPL.
He ended up with figures of 5/30 in four overs at an economy rate of 7.82. He took the wickets of Shubman Gill, Vijay Shankar, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed. Earlier, the best figures by an LSG bowler in IPL history belonged to England's Mark Wood, who registered 5/14 in four overs against Delhi Capitals (DC) in 2023.
