Philip Salt played one hell of a knock on Sunday during KKR’s crucial IPL 2024 clash against LSG at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
The swashbuckling wicket-keeper batsman, who went unsold during the bidding war ahead of the season, came as a replacement for Jason Roy in the Purple and Gold Brigade, made 89 not out off 47 balls to take his side to a comfortable eight-wicket victory over LSG, keeping his side second on the points table.
Among Salt's serious thrashing against LSG bowlers, a shot which he played against Mohsin Khan during the 15th over of KKR's innings left everyone, including skipper Shreyas Iyer, in absolute awe.
It was a back-of-a-length delivery by Mohsin, and Salt was waiting for it to play an audacious shot. He dispatched it nonchalantly over deep mid-wicket, and it got the distance as well, a whopping 98-metre six.
