The 25-year-old cricketer had a brilliant start to IPL 2020, scoring 50+ plus score in both of his opening games but has fallen off the pace since, getting dismissed for single-digit scores in his next two matches.

Sanju Samson, who came in to bat at No.3 after the dismissal of Steve Smith, failed to make a huge impact as he was dismissed by Yuzvendra Chahal for just four runs. The RR batsman has a poor record against the RCB spinner in IPL, scoring at less than run-a-ball against him and getting dismissed four times. However, this time, the wicket looked controversial.

Samson tried to drive the ball but a courtesy a leading-edge the ball travelled right to the Yuzvendra Chahal, who took a brilliant catch. In real-time, the wicket looked clean but when the decision as checked by the third umpire, some part of the ball appeared to touch the ground. The Soft signal was given as out as the TV umpire felt there wasn’t enough evidence to overturn the decision.

Not Out
