During the IPL 2024 clash beÂtween RR and GT in Jaipur on April 10, a dramatic moment unfoldeÂd. Kuldeep Sen, RR’s paceÂr, trapped GT opener B Sai Sudharsan plumb in front. The batter was adjudged not out initially, but RR captain Sanju Samson’s successful DRS reÂview overturned the decision. Sudharsan, left-handed, had to deÂpart the crease.
The event occurred in the ninth over of the innings when Sai Sudharsan attempted a scoop shot but the ball smacked his pads. While the umpire rejected Kuldeep Sen’s wicket, Sanju Samson requested a review, and Sudharsan had to walk back for 35 off 29 deliveries.
