Pat Cummins of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) joined forces with teammate Shivam Mavi to complete a relay catch that helped them dismiss Rajasthan Royals’ Riyan Parag in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match on Monday. In the 18th over of their innings, Parag attempted to take Sunil Narine to task by hitting a full delivery straight down the ground. Pat Cummins ran in from long-off to grab the ball because he didn’t get enough on it. However, as his momentum carried him towards the boundary rope, he stumbled but managed to toss the ball to Shivam Mavi before collapsing.
