Sanju Samson pulled off a stunning fielding effort during the third T20I game between India and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground on December 8, 2020 (Tuesday). The Indian cricketer jumped running back towards the boundary rope to save Glenn Maxwell’s shot going for a maximum and saved his side crucial four runs in the match. Did Virat Kohli Miss to Call for DRS on Time or Broadcaster’s Fault?
The incident occurred in the 14th over of the game. Glenn Maxwell pounced on a length ball from Shardul Thakur. The Australian got under the ball and launched it towards the sky, at first looked it appeared that the ball will sail over the rope, but it wasn’t the case as Sanju Samson threw himself over the ropes, took the catch and then had the sense to throw it back into play before falling onto the ground.

Speaking of the game, riding on half-centuries by Matthew Wade and Glenn Maxwell, Australia posted a score of 186/5 in their 20 overs. Team India will be pretty confident of chasing the total and would look to register their 10th consecutive win in T20Is and complete a clean sweep over the hosts.
