An incident happened off the first ball of the second over, with Vaibhav Arora bowling. Powell pulled off a sharp catch at mid-on but paid the price. Running back and adjusting under a swirling ball, he dived to complete it and landed awkwardly on his left side.<\/p>\n<p>He stayed down for a while as the physio came out. Powell eventually got back on his feet but was clearly in pain, holding his hip and left arm as he walked off the field. He needed support from the physio and was replaced by Manish Pandey as a substitute.<\/p>\n<p>The fall looked heavy, not unlike the kind of awkward landings that can cause serious concern. KKR will be hoping it is not as bad as it first appeared.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lungi Ngidi incident<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A similar scare was seen earlier with Lungi Ngidi, who suffered a heavy fall while attempting a catch. He landed on the back of his head, stayed down, and required immediate medical attention. A stretcher and ambulance were brought onto the field as a precaution. He was later discharged from hospital and thanked everyone for their support on social media.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Early blow for LSG as Mitchell Marsh falls<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>LSG\u2019s chase did not start well. Off the first ball of the second over, Vaibhav Arora struck with a short-of-length delivery that climbed on Marsh.<\/p>\n<p>He mistimed the pull and the ball went high towards mid-on, where Powell completed the catch. Marsh was out for 2, leaving LSG at 9 for 1 in the early stages.<\/p>\n<p>Chasing 156, they need stability, but losing a key batter that early adds pressure. The required rate is already climbing, and KKR have an opening.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rinku Singh rescue lifts KKR to 155<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>KKR\u2019s total was built around Rinku Singh\u2019s innings. They were 73 for 6 at one stage before he turned it around.<\/p>\n<p>Rinku finished unbeaten on 83 off 51 balls, hitting seven fours and five sixes. The final over went for 26, with four consecutive sixes, while KKR added 43 runs in the last two overs.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Mohsin Khan had taken 5 for 23 to put KKR in trouble. But the late surge changed the picture.<\/p>\n<p>From a collapse, KKR reached 155 for 7. The question now is whether that late push will be enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rovman Powell injured after stunning catch, walks off There was an early moment of concern in the chase.
