New Delhi: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) wicketkeeper batsman Robin Uthappa once again played a match-winning knock for his team as he guided KKR to a comprehensive six-wicket win against Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) in Match 30 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017.
Uthappa has been one of the most consistent performers for Gautam Gambhir's men in the last few years. On Wednesday night, he once again entertained the crowd with some fantastic strokes at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune.
While Uthappa playing a good knock in IPL is no more a surprise, what was more impressive to see was his glovework behind the stumps against RPS.
Not known for his wicketkeeping skills, Uthappa gave three major blows to Steve Smith's men as he stumped Ajinkya Rahane, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Manoj Tiwary.
The highlight was the stumping of Rahane, where Uthappa sent the RPS opening batsman back to the pavilion with some lightning quick work against Sunil Narine's bowling.
The next two stumpings came against bowling of Chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav.
Watch the dismissals here:
KKR have been in sublime form in the tenth edition of the cash-rich tournament where they have won six out of the eight matches they have played so far.
They are currently ranked on the top of the points table. They will now take on Delhi Daredevils at Eden Gardens on April 28.
