Nicholas Pooran's Fielding Steals Run-fed Sharjah Reality Show
Amid 449 runs and 29 humongous sixes in the ninth encounter of the IPL 2020, there came a moment when the slurry of sixes were just forgot for a while. Yes, it was a sensational fielding effort by Kings XI Punjab's player Nicholas Pooran who leaped in the air to protect what would have been a certain six. It was so astounding that the fielding coach Jonty Rhodes appeared from dugout giving a bow in respect to Pooran. Sachin Tendulkar praised Pooran's effort saying that It was the best save he has seen in his life. In the run-fed match played on the shortest ground, it was not easy for a fielder to pull back a shot from almost two yards over the boundary rope. That too, when his side is being clobbered by gigantic hits. Later, Rajasthan Royals successfully chased 223 runs, the highest run-chase of IPL, beating Kings XI by 4 wickets.
