This was on the second-to-last delivery of the ninth over when Ravindra Jadeja was facing Glenn Maxwell.
Over 440 runs were scored by both teams in the Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in the IPL 2023 on Monday, but it was Ajinkya Rahane’s fantastic save that stole the show. This was on the second-to-last delivery of the ninth over when Ravindra Jadeja was facing Glenn Maxwell. The RCB hitter hoisted one over long-off, and if not for Rahane’s brilliant overhead catch, it would have gone for six. He came close to capturing the ball, but he lost his footing and flicked it back into the ground at the last second. He prevented a run of five certainties.
