Sanju Samson takes a brilliant catch as Jos Buttler is dismissed for 24 after smart DRS call in IND vs ENG 2025 3rd T20I [Watch]

Team India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson took a good catch and also did well to help his side take a review to see the back of England skipper Jos Buttler. The incident took place in the third ODI between the two sides on Tuesday, January 28, at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot.

For the third time this series, Buttler walked out to the middle early to have a hit, following the wicket of Phil Salt (5 off 7). The batter looked a bit shaky at the start but then got settled to the pace of the wicket, scoring a couple of boundaries and getting a few runs under his belt.

However, on the last ball of the ninth over, Buttler attempted a reverse sweep, which was very well collected by Sanju Samson behind the sticks off the bowling of Varun Chakravarthy. Both Samson and Chakravarthy appealed by the umpire thought that Buttler didn't get an edge.

Samson coaxed Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav to take the review, where they found that the ball had touched Buttler's bat on its way to Samson's gloves. The on-field decision was overturned and was ruled in the favor of the bowling side.

Take a look at the dismissal below:

Jos Buttler was dismissed for 24 runs in 22 balls, courtesy of a four and six. He became England's second wicket to fall, with his dismissal bringing Harry Brook to the middle.
