[Watch] Kuldeep Sen and Sanju Samson collide to take Atharva Taide's catch in PBKS vs RR IPL 2024 clash

Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Sanju Samson and Kuldeep Sen almost collided during Atharva Taide's catch against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 game in Mullanpur on Saturday (April 13).

For the unversed, the two players got underneath the sky-high catch before Sen collected the ball. Usually, wicketkeepers go after sky-high catches owing to their gloves. Luckily, Sen didn't miss the catch for the Royals.

The incident took place during the fourth over of PBKS' innings. Avesh Khan banged a short-length ball and Taide came down the pitch for a pull shot but was cramped for room and only managed a top edge. Both Samson and Sen at short third man called for the catch and the latter completed the catch after a minor collision.

Watch the video below:

Taide, who replaced Shikhar Dhawan (niggle) in the playing XI, failed to deliver, departing for just 15 runs off 12 balls, including two boundaries.
