Sanju Samson makes an impressive catch to send Jonny Bairstow packing


Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 is in its mid-season and has seen almost everything expected from a shorter format of the game. The 2020 IPL has seen some extraordinary field efforts against the ropes, relay catches have been made, centuries have been reached and the team has chased a total of over 220 races!

Although with no fans in the stadium, the excitement for IPL 2020 continues to overcome. Sunday sees a double header with SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) welcoming Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the first match. SRH is currently hitting, but the Jaipur franchise broke the opening partnership with Jonny Bairstow’s wicket.

Bairstow was the first wicket to fall in love with SRH as he tried to clear the fence towards the corner of the corner from the back of a long delivery from Karthik Tyagi, but found Sanju Samson diving into the depths. Samson anticipated the ball, kept his cool, and made an effort to dive to his left to send Bairstow packing. The wicket fell in the fifth plus shortly after the Englishman hit Tyagi by a max.
