Meanwhile, the talk of the town was Sanju Samson, who took an amazing diving catch to dismiss Pat Cummins, on the bowling of Tom Curran. Cummins hit the ball on the leg side, where Samson chased it and took an overhead catch at deep backward square.
Here is the video of the catch:
His catch was praised by none other than Sachin Tendulkar, who posted “Brilliant catch by @IamSanjuSamson !I know how much it hurts when you bang your head like this on the ground. I experienced it in the 1992 World Cup in our match against the WI when I took a catch. #IPL2020 #RRvKKR”
