When it comes to thrills, the IPL never disappoints and the most recent edition has produced some magical on-field moments that will stay with the fans forever. Sanju Samson was in the thick of things and turned Superman when he saved 4 crucial runs for his side at the death.

The 10th edition of the IPL is getting better with each match and the entertainment quotient seems to have know no bounds. The players have time and again made impossible scenarios look ordinary with their exquisite fielding efforts.

The incident in question took place in the 19th over of the match when Kolkata needed 15 runs off the last 2 overs. Chris Morris was brought on to bowl and on the second delivery of his over, Manish Pandey slogged a shot over mid-wicket and the ball seemed to be about to cross the boundary ropes with ease, but Sanju Samson had other plans. The Delhi Daredevils youngster got to the ropes as quickly as he could, got himself off the ground and collected the ball mid-air. He knew the momentum would take him over the ropes so the top-order batsman cleverly threw the ball back in play, saving 4 runs for his side.

The competition for best fielding seems to be getting tougher as the tournament is proceeding and fans will surely hope to see more such enthralling efforts.
