Watch: Sanju Samson or Superman? RR Captain's Stunning Catch To Dismiss Prithvi Shaw Wins Internet

Sanju Samson is one of the trustworthy employees behind the stumps. While playing for Rajasthan Royals against Delhi Capitals, the player pulled off a stunning catch to reaffirm his brilliance as a wicketkeeper. A fuller delivery from Trent Boult during DC's chase of 200 outplayed Prithvi Shaw. The ball which was angled outside by Boult, swung into Shaw and got an outside edge of his willow. The edge changed the direction of the ball and RR wicketkeeper Samson quickly jumped to his right and took a sensational catch to cut short the innings of Shaw.

Delhi Capitals Predicted XI vs Rajasthan Royals, IPL 2023: Who Will Take Mitchell Marsh's Place?

Eyeing their first win of the season, the David Warner-led Delhi Capitals take on Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati. DC lost to Lucknow Super Giants by 50 runs in their first game, before going down against Gujarat Titans at home earlier this week. Already without the services of Rishabh Pant, DC will miss the presence of star all-rounder Mitchell Marsh who has flown back to Australia for a week for his wedding. DC's batting has been battered and bruised by raw pace in back-to-back matches, which is likely to find some breathing space on a featherbed in Guwahati.

"Can't Be Batting At No.4": Sanjay Manjrekar Suggests New Batting Position For Devdutt Padikkal

Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar feels that Devdutt Padikkal should not be sent at the number four position. Padikkal fared well as an opener in IPL, but the change in his batting position of late has seen him fail in making noticeable contributions. As the former Royal Challengers Bangalore opener continues to struggle with consistency in his current team Rajasthan Royals, Manjrekar has suggested that he should be sent at the number 3 position and RR skipper Sanju Samson should take the 4th spot.

Rajasthan Royals made a brilliant effort but still fell short by five runs in their IPL 2023 match against Punjab Kings on Wednesday. Chasing 198, RR had a forgetful start to their innings as they were reduced to 91/4 in 11 overs. Then, Devdutt Padikkal and Riyan Parag were sent to bat but could not build a big partnership as they went back to the dugout with only 124 runs on the board in 15 overs. Later, Shimron Hetmyer and young batter Dhruv Jurel anchored the innings and took the game down to the wire. However, the Sanju Samson-led side was restricted at 192/7 after Sam Curran defended 16 runs in the last over.
