RCB vs CSK | Twitter divided as RCB dugout surprised by Santner’s moment of brilliance removing settled Faf

Winning the toss and electing to field first backfired against Chennai Super Kings as RCB openers Faf and Virat Kohli chalked up a 78-run partnership before the latter fell in the tenth over. Subsequently, the RCB skipper tried to switch gears and raced to a 35-ball 50 by taking down Ravindra Jadeja. As the Proteas looked well settled to convert it into a big score, Santner’s acrobatic bowling effort ended up in Faf’s unfortunate run-out dismissal. 

On the last ball of the 13th over, Santner bowled a fuller one at the stumps that Rajat Patidar drilled back down the line. The Kiwi attempted to stop the rebounding white cherry but ended up with a faint edge back to the stumps. Simultaneously, Faf at the non-striker’s end was out of the crease and tried to make home before the ball hit the stumps. As the on-field umpires summoned the TV umpire Michael Gough’s verdict, it was evident that the batter was marginally short of the crease with his bat in the air and Ultraedge showed a spike as the ball swirled through Santner’s finger. Despite checking various angles and zoomed-in technology, the decision of out did not go well with Faf and the RCB dugout, prompting the Twitterverse into a frenzy.

Moment of Magic!
