In the ongoing 23rd game of the IPL 2023 between Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals, something funnier went down. After winning the toss and electing to bowl first, the 2008 winners took the wicket of Wriddhiman Saha in the first over. The former India wicketkeeper batter tried to play a pick-up shot against Trent Boult but the ball went high into the night sky.
As they say, it is difficult to catch the ball went it goes high in the nighttime with the Narendra Modi Stadium having surrounding lights. Meanwhile, three other players apart from Boult came running in such as skipper Sanju Samson, Shimron Hetmyer, and Dhruv Jurel converged to take the catch. However, in the end, the left-arm pacer completed the catch as it was almost spilled by the trio.
