Ryan Rickelton, on Wednesday (May 21), pulled off a brilliant stumping to send back the dangerous Abishek Porel during the game between the Mumbai Indians and the Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
The left-handed batsman departed in the fifth over after being outfoxed by Will Jacks. On the second ball of the over, the England allrounder bowled a loopy delivery just outside off. The ball drew Abishek Porel forward, but the Delhi Capitals star was beaten all ends up.
And while going for a front-foot defence, he also lost his balance. As a result, his back foot went off in the air and it was enough for Ryan Rickelton to pull off a lightning stumping. As soon as the ball reached his gloves, the South Africa star Ryan Rickelton took the bails off in a flash to catch Abishek Porel short of his crease.
