IPL 2023: Ranking best catches of the tournament
These players pulled off some incredible grabs in the T20 extravaganza held for 60 days.
5. Sanju Samson vs Delhi Capitals (DC), Match 11
Sanju Samson had a rough time in IPL 2023 as captain and batter. Under him, Rajasthan Royals (RR) failed to advance to the playoffs, picking up only 14 points with seven wins in 14 games. As a batter as well, he couldn’t do justice with his role, racking up only 362 runs in 14 matches at a strike rate of 153.38.
However, Samson wasn't bad in the initial matches of the tournament as he exuded confidence with his spunky batting and wicketkeeping performances. In RR’s comprehensive 57-run win over Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Barsapara Stadium, the fierce RR captain got dismissed on a duck but in the second innings, he displayed alertness and performed wonderfully with the gloves behind the stumps.
On the third delivery of DC’s innings, Trent Boult gave a marvellous start to RR with the ball, and to make it happen smoothly, Samson contributed with his one-handed diving stunner to remove Prithvi Shaw from the crease. Sanju’s amazing effort got recognised at the end of the contest as he became the recipient of the Catch of the Match award.
