On Saturday, Sanju Samson made a stunning catch to dismiss Prithvi Shaw for a duck during the RR vs DC game in IPL 2023.
Fans and experts were surprised when Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson caught Delhi Capitals starter Prithvi Shaw with a spectacular catch behind the wickets on Saturday. After the Royals scored a huge total of 199/4 in 20 overs, DC called on Shaw as their impact player to start their innings. However, after only three deliveries, Trent Bout got an outside edge, and Samson took a blinder.
Shaw played in the first two games, but he wasn’t on the team for the game against the Royals. Instead, Manish Pandey was put in his place. So far in the IPL, the starter hasn’t done much. In the first two games, he scored 12 and 7, respectively. With a 200-yard goal, the Capitals expected Shaw to give them a strong start to their chase. However, the starter was caught off guard by the right-handed batter’s late movement, and his wide cross-batted drive missed because he didn’t have the right footwork.
An outside edge sent the ball behind the batter, and Samson made a great dive and took a one-handed stunner to get rid of the dangerous hitter.
Earlier in the game in Guwahati, Delhi Capitals skipper David Warner won the toss and elected to bowl. Their first two games this season have resulted in crushing losses to the Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans, and they have yet to win a game.
The Samson-led Royals, on the other hand, suffered a razor-thin five-run defeat to the Punjab Kings earlier this week after a stellar start to the season that saw them destroy Sunrisers Hyderabad by 72 runs. The Royals finished second in the previous competition, and despite losing both of their games, they had a strong performance against the Capitals with the bat. Young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 60 runs off just 31 balls, and Jos Buttler added 79 runs to the total to help the team reach a respectable total.
