In the 32nd match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021, Rajasthan R෴oyals (RR) sealed a thrilling final over win against Punjab K𝔉ings (PBKS) at Dubai Internat𓃲ional Cri🔯cket Stadium on Tuesday.
From Rajasthan’s batters power-hitting to Punjab batsmen counter approach and, of course, the brilliant last over by Kartik Tyagi, there were many moments in the ma♔tch that impress🗹ed several fans across the world.
Another such incident that captured maximum eyeballs was a sensational fielding effort by PBKS’ overseas recruit Fabian Allen.
Allen took a stunning catch to dismiss England’s power-striker, Liam Livingstone. It all happened in the 12th over of RR’s innings bowled by Arshdeep Singh.
The left-armer bowled a slower delivery and fo🦩rced the batter to have a go at it. Livingstone tried to clear the b📖oundary ropes in deep midwicket, but Allen had other plans, as he put a spectacular full-length dive to catch the white-leather.
