Sanju Samson took 2 catches behind the stumps in the 1st ODI against Zimbabwe but his 1st catch was worth a watch as he almost dropped it.
The Indian team began their tour of Zimbabwe in the first ODI and the Indian new ball bowlers bamboozled the hosts in the early stages of the match. Indian pace bowlers took 7 wickets out of 10 in the match.

The returning Deepak Chahar has been a nuisance with the swinging ball and has rattled the batters with three wickets to his name and all three of his wickets were of Zimbabwe's first 3 batsmen. But the Indian bowler had a nervy moment when Sanju Samson fumbled a routine take only to grab it spectacularly on the second attempt.
KL Rahul called it right at the toss and opted to bowl first on a pitch that had enough for the quick bowlers, and his seamers didn’t disappoint the stand-in skipper either. An overzealous Deepak Chahar erred at the beginning of his spell, quite expected as it was his first taste of action since February.
But the stylish swing bowler opened the floodgates for India with an uncharacteristic delivery as he strangled the Zimbabwe opening batter, Innocent Kaia, for room on a short delivery that took the top edge of the bat and flew to the keeper.
Watch the catch below.
Samson, who is keeping the wickets for India, made a mess of an easy grab and fumbled it before showing supreme athleticism and awareness to snaffle it on the second attempt to give the visitors the breakthrough in the match.
