Phil Salt smashes some brilliant shots for a quick start to the RCB innings of the ongoing RCB vs PBKS IPL 2025 Final. He played a quick knock of 16 runs off just nine balls, with two fours and a six. But it was star PBKS pacer Kyle Jamieson who trapped Salt to play a lofted shot to go up and over; however, the latter happened to leave the ball in the air.
Subsequently, the PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer ran back to come sharply underneath the ball to take a brilliant catch. It was also a crucial breakthrough for the Kings as RCB were off to a quick start, courtesy of some good shots by Salt.
The video of Phil Salt’s dismissal, owing to the brilliant running-back catch taken by Shreyas Iyer, also went viral on social media as soon as it was shared by a user on X (formerly Twitter).
