Andre Russell was left fuming and Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Nitish Rana could nothing but stare blankly as Suyash Sharma squandered a massive chance to dismiss David Miller in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter against Gujarat Titans on Saturday.

The mistake came back to haunt the hosts as they were defeated by seven wickets. With the match precariously placed, Miller miscued a delivery from Russell and the ball went high up in the air.

Suyash was able to take the perfect position but the youngster could not hold on to the catch. Russell was expectedly frustrated by the blunder and Miller later played a massive role in guaranteeing GT's victory at Eden Gardens.

First it was the Titans pace duo of Mohammad Shami (3/33) and Josh Little (2/25) picked five wickets between them, while left-arm spinner Noor Ahmad (2/21) continued his fine run to restrict KKR to a below-par 179/7 after Hardik Pandya opted to bowl.
