The IPL 2023 is providing fans with a delightful and engaging experience, not just through cricket, but also with the peculiar incidents that take place both on and off the field. The recent match between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Gujarat Titans (GT) was a perfect example of this. The match began with an early wicket by RR’s pacer Trent Boult, who dismissed Wriddhiman Saha in the very first over. However, what made this wicket even more interesting was the comical manner in which it was achieved. It required three RR bowlers to initially attempt to take the wicket, only to fumble with the ball, before the fourth person, who was out of the scene, took the catch. This incident has now become a hot topic of discussion among fans and has even spawned several memes.
It happened when Saha attempted to play a shot in the air, resulting in a massive top edge. As a result, the ball was heading straight down toward the pitch. Sanju Samson, the keeper, Dhruv Jurel from the point, and Shimron Hetmyer from square leg all converged in an attempt to catch the ball. Although Samson managed to get his gloves to the ball, the collision caused the ball to bounce out of the group. However, Boult was nearby and promptly spotted the ball in the air, immediately catching it off his own bowling. The series of events that followed resulted in a hilarious moment that quickly became the subject of memes on Twitter.
