Pooran dived like a cat to catch the ball a full six feet (two meters) over the boundary before spinning in the air and throwing it over the rope for a split second before hitting the ground.
The West Indies stunts to deny a six to Rajasthan Royals batsman Sanju Samson were not enough, however, to prevent his Kings XI Punjab team from losing to the biggest chase in IPL history in Sharjah on Sunday. .
Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar called it “the best save I have ever seen. Just amazing!” – thanking Punjab field coach Jonty Rhodes ‘#godofcricket’.
“(Really) There is NO doubt this will be THE best save, EVER. Fantastic work by @ nicholas_47 that inspired the rest of the @lionsdenkxip fielders to put on one of the best defensive fielding displays I have ever seen,” Rhodes tweeted.
Former England hitter Kevin Pietersen, commenting on television, was impressed by the Trinidad-born Pooran’s “incredible” feat, which resulted in two runs instead of six.
“No way, no way, no way. That’s amazing! The T20 cricket save is the best I’ve ever seen,” Pietersen said.
The video of the spectacular effort lit up social networks.
“Nicolas Pooran, except for the limit, he was extraordinary inhuman, he has redefined the capacity for human thought, take a bow,” said a Twitter user.
Another said, “Wowza, superman Nicolas Pooran.”
Pooran’s effort came after his 25 of eight batting when King’s XI stacked an unassailable-looking 223 for two of his 20 overs.
But the Royals came home with four wickets and three balls to spare.
Rahul Tewatia of India broke 53 of 31 balls, including five sixes on one more, after Steve Smith hit 50 and Samson 85.
The cash-rich Twenty20 league takes place in the United Arab Emirates behind closed doors after being moved out of India due to the coronavirus pandemic.
