"Main Catch Lunga": Sanju Samson Trolled By RR Player On Catching 'Disaster' After Superb Effort

Rajasthan Royals are well on course for the IPL 2024 playoffs. After their two wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday, Rajasthan Royals now have 12 points. If no major upset in the next couple of games, RR might well be the first team to enter the playoffs. While there were two centurions in the match in KKR's Sunil Narine and RR's Jos Buttler, there was one particular fielding effort by Avesh Khan that is now the talk of the town.

It happened in the fourth over of the KKR innings when Avesh Khan outstretched arm caught hold of a shot from Phil Salt. The improbability of the catch made it more interesting. After the catch, Avesh Khan gestured towards Sanju Samson and said something like: "Main catch lunga (I will take the catch)". Later, he celebrated with Sanju Samson gloves.

For the unversed, Avesh Khan was absolutely livid with Sanju Samson during RR's match against Punjab Kings last Saturday for a dropped catch. In the 19th over of PBKS innings, Samson did not pay heed to Avesh Khan's call as he charged to take a catch of Ashutosh Sharma. Though Avesh was closer, Samson went ahead  and dropped the catch. Avesh Khan was clearly frustrated with the call. It was called a 'disaster' on social media.

Disaster from Sanju Samson!

He has costed Rajasthan Royals 10-15 runs here.

This is the 4th time in IPL when Samson has not made a call for the catch and went running in to the fielder. Brain-fades!#PBKSvRR #SanjuSamson #LiamLivingston #RajasthanRoyals pic.twitter.com/XKTFM7zrJI
