That was the eighth final of the Rajasthan Royals chase against Kings XI Punjab in the IPL on Sunday. Murugan Ashwin’s ball, which spins the leg, was thrown by Sanju Samson. The ball floated across the border.
Did a full dive off the old limit. The ball floats in the air. But his body was falling across the border. Realizing it would be a six, Puran threw the ball into the field at the last minute. After watching the replay repeatedly, the third referee became convinced that all six did not happen. Only two races came in the race. All of this happens in the blink of an eye!
The fitness and the field in modern cricket means that there has been an improvement, especially in the way the field has progressed in the T20 era, a lot of dazzling things can now be seen. With all that in mind, this old save seems incredible.

Commentators were surprised to see his fielding. “The best fielding save I’ve seen in the IPL,” said Kevin Pietersen, then a commentator. Later another commentator, Michael Slater, added: “The best save I’ve seen in any cricket, not just the IPL.”
Another commenter, Hersha Vogle, shared the same tune on Twitter.
“One of the best fielding saves I’ve seen is Puran. The ball went about 2 yards over the boundary, bringing it back from there… wow! The quality of the field will take us further!”
Sachin Tendulkar’s tweet added weight to Puran’s fame.
“This is the best save I’ve seen, just amazing!”
Jonty Rhodes, the former team’s fielding coach, is considered by many to be the greatest outfielder of all time. Rhodes told Kurnish to clap from the excavation after seeing the old man save. He later shared Tendulkar’s tweet expressing his excitement.
“When Sachin Tendulkar says the best save he has ever seen, then there is no question. This is the best save of all time. Great job from Puran.”
Like that fielding, the game was also full of emotion. Rajasthan beat Punjab in a record streak.
