IPL 2024: Sanju Samson Channels MS Dhoni with Brilliant Run Out in PBKS vs RR Clash – Watch Video

In the recent match against PBKS, Rajasthan Royals (RR) showcased their bowling prowess, particularly in the initial and middle stages of the innings. Avesh Khan provided the much-needed breakthrough for RR by dismissing PBKS opener Atharva Taide early in the innings, setting the tone for their bowling attack.

Early Wickets

Continuing their dominance, RR’s bowlers continued to trouble the PBKS batsmen. Yuzvendra Chahal struck in the third delivery after the batting powerplay to remove Prabhsimran Singh, adding to RR’s early success. Following suit, Keshav Maharaj claimed the wickets of the dangerous Jonny Bairstow and stand-in skipper Sam Curran, further denting PBKS’s batting lineup. Despite the pressure exerted by RR’s bowlers, PBKS batsmen Jitesh Sharma and Liam Livingstone made valuable contributions with cameos, scoring 29 and 21 runs respectively. Their efforts helped stabilize the innings amidst RR’s bowling onslaught.

Excellent piece of fielding! 🙌

It’s none other than the @rajasthanroyals skipper @IamSanjuSamson with a superb run-out to dismiss Livingstone 🎯

Ashutosh Sharma’s Resilience

In the death overs, Ashutosh Sharma emerged as a key figure for PBKS, displaying resilience and determination in an attempt to propel his side to a defendable total. Sharma’s innings received a stroke of luck when a miscommunication between Avesh Khan and RR captain Sanju Samson led to a missed catch, allowing Sharma to continue his innings and make a significant impact for PBKS.
