IPL 2024 | Twitter reacts to Avesh Khan furious over Sanju Samson’s trust issue amidst catch drop

With the hype around an El Classico fixture in the form of Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings, the latter was forced to bat first in their home game. With Shikhar Dhawan absent for this encounter, the hosts suffered setbacks as they were reduced to 52/4 within ten overs. With the pitch on the slower side the lower order’s resilience was curbed with some extraordinary fielding despite one bizarre incident that involved captain Samson and Avesh. 

On the second ball of the 19th over, Avesh dished a fuller one outside the off that Ashutosh tried to smoke across the line but got a top edge. The ball skied up in front of the short mid wicket region and Avesh was seen hurling towards it to reward himself with a third scalp of the day. Simultaneously, Samson scampered towards the free-falling white rock but none of the two RR players could actually take the catch. As the ball landed between the two fielders due to the miscommunication, the bowler seemed agitated with Samson’s approach for the catch and had an exchange of words, leading the Twitterverse into a frenzy.

What a mess up!

Comedy of error continues

Democratic

Bad timing

Run for it

Should give call

Too much mix up
