[Watch] Sanju Samson takes brilliant review to send back Ishan Kishan caught behind for duck in RR vs MI IPL 2024 clash
Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Sanju Samson took a brilliant review to dismiss Mumbai Indians (MI) opener Ishan Kishan caught behind in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday (April 22). Kishan departed for a three-ball duck.
The dismissal came in the second over of MI's innings. Sandeep Sharma bowled a brilliant outswinger and Kishan hardly used its feet as the ball took a faint edge and carried to the wicketkeeper.
The on-field umpire didn't look interested but Samson looked confident and made a successful review to reduce MI to 6-2 in just 1.3 overs, with both openers back in the hut. The wicketkeeper also took a sky-high catch to send back Rohit Sharma early off Trent Boult in the first over.
