New Delhi: Gujarat Lions secured first victory of the tournament by defeating Stev Smith led Rising Pune Supergiant by 7 wickets at Rajkot on Friday.


On a day when Samuel Badree and Andrew Tye grabbed headline with Hattricks and Kieron Pollard eased Mumbai Indians to victory against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Gujarat Lions’ skipper Suresh Raina took a sensational catch to shift the limelight.

In the very first over of Rising Pune Supergiant innings, the Gujarat Lions skipper Suresh Raina, who was stationed in slip,  took a spectacular catch to send Ajinkya Rahane packing.

Raina seemed in no position to take the catch when ball edged Rahane’s bat. Off-balanced and heading in wrong direction, Raina managed to get hold of the ball with faster than bullet reaction to hand RPS an early shock.
