In the first over of the game, Arjun Tendulkar bowled a delivery to Wriddhiman Saha that saw the latter open his bat-face and guide the ball between backward point and short third man. The ball was on its way to the boundary line, but that’s when Piyush Chawla made his appearance. Despite nursing a knee injury from the previous game, Piyush dived to save the ball from touching the boundary line, flicking it back in with his left hand and saving a run for the Mumbai Indians.
The crowd erupted in cheers, and netizens quickly took to social media to appreciate the fantastic effort by the spinner. Fans praised Piyush’s agility and athleticism, especially considering he was playing through an injury. Many also commended his commitment to the game and his team, noting that he could have easily let the ball go and saved himself from further injury.
That’s some commitment from Piyush Chawla. #MIvsGT #IPL2023 #ArjunTendulkar pic.twitter.com/LDoXummFuv
