In total, he picked up 5 wickets in the match and pulled off an incredible boundary line save to shift the match in favour of the Knight Riders.

Towards the flag end of the match between SRH and KKR, the momentum started shifting towards the side of the men in orange. Their captain David Warner and young middle-order batsmen Abdul Samad started re-building their innings after Lockie inflicted major damage on their batting unit in the first phase. Young Samad looked well set to carry his team towards the finishing line. But in the last ball of the penultimate over, things took a U-turn as Samad tried to clear the deep mid-wicket region. He hit the ball really hard, but an incredible fielding effort from Lockie Ferguson at the boundary ropes made sure that Samad was to make his way back to the pavilion. Anticipating the catch, Lockie jumped over the boundary ropes and came back in and tucked the ball towards Gill who was charging in towards him to complete a perfect combination catch.
