Shukla’s dismissal of Ashley Nurse was not?hing short of brilliant, showcasing his mastery over the turning ball
On the third ball of the 10th over, Shukla delivered a deceptive off-spinner that seemed har??mless at first glance, drifting far outside the off-stump.

However, after pitching, the ball spu??n sharply back into the right-hander, catching Nurse completely by surprise.
His bat, positioned well outside the off-stump in anticipation of the original trajectory, missed the ball entirely as it swerved in viciously. The ball crashed into the middle stump, dislodging both bails and sending Nurse on his way, as the stunned batter was left reflecting on the amount of turn generated. Shukla’s delivery was a testament to his control and ability to extract movement from the surface, turning what seemed like a routine delivery into a wicket-taking masterpiece.

Gurkeerat Singh added ??to the woes of the Capitals by chipping in with two crucial ??wickets.
Chasing a modest total of 89, Hyderabad never looked in serious trouble. Despite a few hiccups, they maintained a steady scoring rate throughout their innings.
