The Royals star took a stunning catch towards the end of the innings to dismiss Pat Cummins. He took the catch on the last ball of the 18th over bowled by Tom Curran to end the 34-run stand between the Australia pacer and Eoin Morgan. And in the process, he nearly suffered a nasty head injury after hitting his head on the ground while taking the catch.

Curran’s short delivery was miscued by Cummins towards deep backward square leg. Sanju Samson initially misjudged the catch as he overran it but did well to take the catch while leaping. And in the process, he landed badly on the field before hitting his head onto the ground. Fortunately, he was able to stand up and field for the rest of the innings.
