Overview
- Dhruv Jurel, in Sunday’s game at Eden Gardens, stumped Cameron Green for 27 with a diving one-handed flick that the third umpire upheld.
- The wicket came off a Ravi Bishnoi googly fired down the leg side as Green charged, forcing Jurel to dive left, collect cleanly, and flick the ball onto the stumps in near no-look fashion.
- The play drew rapid praise from Sachin Tendulkar, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Kevin Pietersen, who called it the greatest stumping ever.
- Kolkata later closed out a four-wicket win with Rinku Singh unbeaten on 53 after an earlier drop kept him at the crease.
- A Hindustan Times model on Monday valued Jurel’s act at about ₹7.02 lakh in fielding impact and estimated KKR lost roughly ₹11.01 lakh in batting value, framing the moment’s effect in monetary terms.
