New Delhi, Oct 23 : While T20 is said to be tailor-made for batsmen, bowlers and fielders do have important roles to play. Like previous seasons, Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 has also witnessed some of the finest acrobatic efforts on the field in the 40 matches that have been played so far.
IANS takes a look at top few fielding efforts that will stand out for a longtime.
Pooran’s brilliance at the boundary against RR West Indies Nicholas Pooran had come out with a stunning fielding effort during Kings XI Punjab’s crushing defeat by Rajasthan Royals in match number nine of IPL 2020.
In the eighth over of Rajasthan Royals’ chase of 224, Sanju Samson played a pull shot off Murugan Ashwin and it was then that Pooran, standing at deep mid-wicket, dived full length over the rope to catch the ball. The West Indian caught the ball while hanging in the air and realising that he wouldn’t be able to come inside the boundary line, he threw the ball — all while being in air — back inside the boundary line to save his team vital six runs.
