Sensation fielding efforts has always been a regular over the years in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and it becomes special when the captain takes a superb to lift his team’s morale up. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper, KL Rahul did the same for his team in the game against Punjab Kings (PBKS) with a full-length dive to his left to take a blinder.
Earlier in the game, PBKS’ stand-in skipper, Sam Curran won the toss and asked the hosts to bat first in Lucknow. The game between LSG and PBKS has turned out to be a low-scoring affair so far with the match hanging in balance. PBKS required 23 runs from the last three overs with four wickets in hand.

Also, with the skipper’s brilliant fielding effort, the team’s morale was boosted. Mark Wood was bowling the 16th over and he bowled a full ball to Jitesh Sharma on the fifth ball.
