Punjab Kings (PBKS) got off to their slowest start of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Monday (April 25) at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. They only managed to score 37/1 in the first six overs. Bhanuka Rajapaksa came to bat at No. 3 after the dismissal of Mayank Agarwal, who fell for 18 off 21 balls.
Rajapaksa batted aggresively in the initial few matches in IPL 2022, but was sidelined after the arrival of Jonny Bairstow. He struggled to get going against the CSK, batting on four off eight balls. Then, in the ninth over, he wanted to smack Ravindra Jadeja over deep mid-wicket, but could not get the timing right as he wanted to. Mitchell Santner, one of the safest fielders around, was placed there, but he moved backwards while trying to grab that. The ball went straiht through his hands, and it eventually went for a six.
With that, the dangerous Rajapaksa got a limeline, and the Yellow Army, who were at the stadium, went in silence.
DROPPED!

RARE SIGHT!
It’s a rare sight to see the very safe as a bank fielder in Santner to drop a catch like that. If you’d be the owner of any side that was the lucky one in this incident, you’d might as well celebrate like the Punjab owner ��🤪
