Royal Challengers Bengaluru mates Tim David and Phil Salt showed an example of perfect teamwork to complete an spectacular relay catch to dismiss Deepak Chahar in the final over of a high-scoring thriller against Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium on Monday. With MI requiring 19 runs of the last over, Krunal Pandya dismissed Mitchell Santner on the first ball of the over. On the very next delivery, new batter Deepak Chahar tried to smash a big shot against the RCB spinner which went towards long off.
The ball couldn’t cross the line as Phil Salt took a spectacular running catch near the boundary. However, Salt wasn’t in control as he threw the ball toward Tim David and went past the boundary rope. After that, David did no mistake on grabbing the ball as the English and Australian duo ended up taking a spectacular catch with great teamwork.
