A Twitter user also shared a video of the catch:
It all happened in the eighth over of New Zealand’s run-chase when Ross Taylor pulled the last ball off Shardul Thakur for what seemed like a certain six. But Samson took a whirlwind jump and retrieved the ball mid-air to save four runs for his side.
As the post went viral, social media became abuzz with reactions. “Thanks to #SanjuSamson acrobatic effort...Otherwise we would have seen a Super over at the end.”
Another user wrote, “Agreed Sir... One requires dedication and determination.. and this is the proof and probably The Best pic to prove it.”
A post read, “I thought it still went to six and people and players were applauding for effort but he actually saved 4 runs... Even if the ball went for six it was a fantastic effort.”
A Tweeple remarked, “Absolutely sensational what Sanju Samson did. What a save, effort and the commitment level. Jaw dropping stuff. It took me a few seconds to register the entire sequence of events and replayed it again and again. Hats off Sanju Samson. Great.”
