IPL 2024 | Twitter abuzz as Siraj’s mini circus act leaves impact sub-Vijay Shankar with minimum impact

Winning the toss and electing to field first on a two-paced surface yielded good results for the RCB bowling unit as they kept pegging back with wickets despite a 61-run stand in the middle from GT. To negate the home attack, the Titans opted to send Vijay Shankar as an impact sub that failed with the all-rounder succumbing to pressure, courtesy of a juggling attempt from Mohammed Siraj. 

Having enforced a couple of wickets in the first two deliveries of the 19th over with a catch and a run-out, Vyshak Vijaykumar bowled a good length delivery around the off stump at Shankar on the next ball. The batter tried to shimmy down a tad and whack it down the ground but ended up with a top edge flying behind short third man. Siraj positioned there peddled backwards and ended up grabbing the ball in a fourth attempt following a hilarious juggle. Although it's difficult for a fielder to shuffle backward and grasp the ball, the Twitterverse drew a comparison with a circus attempt.
