HIGHLIGHT
- Nicholas Pooran saved a massive punch from Samson from passing the boundary line by six
- Sachin Tendulkar and others reacted after Nicholas Pooran’s sensational work on the border line
- Best Kept in Cricket History, One User Reacted to Pooran’s Effort
The history of IPL and T20 cricket over the years have witnessed some brilliant field efforts by cricketers around the world. Relay catch was born out of T20 cricket, superman dives and resulting catches are also a by-product of this fast form of cricket, but what Nicholas Pooran of Kings XI Punjab did on Sunday will be written separately in the history books of inhuman and outlandish. efforts on the cricket field.
In the eighth over of the Rajastha Royals hitting innings, Sanju Samson broke a pitch from Murugan Ashwin for a safe shot six, but wait! Nicholas Pooran did something so extraordinary near the border line that even ‘Cricket God’ Sachin Tendulkar couldn’t believe his eyes.
Nicholas Pooran made a full dive while hanging in the air while holding the ball before throwing it over the boundary line to save his team from six vital runs. Pooran surely couldn’t help Punjab bring back a dangerous-looking Sanju Samson, but his effort drove fans, former cricketers, and even movie stars crazy.
“This is the best save I’ve ever seen. Just amazing !!” Sachin Tendulkar tweeted.
