Sanju Samson pulled off a sensational fielding effort during Australia's innings in the 3rd T20I when he leaps full length to intercept a Glenn Maxwell hit off Shardul Thakur in the 14th over to save a certain six. He kept it to just two runs. Such fielding effort has become a norm in recent times with many cricketers able to pull the ball back in while in the air after catching the ball - most notably Nicolas Pooran completed a similar sequence in IPL 2020.
