Rajasthan Royals' Kerala pair of Sanju Samson and K M Asif plotted dangerman Andre Russell's dismissal in their IPL match against hosts Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday.
Asif was smashed for a six by Russell at the Eden Gardens. Captain Sanju ran up to his statemate and had a chat before the next ball.
The pacer pulled his length back and bowled a short ball which Russell could only steer to R Ashwin at backward point. The West Indian all-rounder had to depart for a run-a-ball 10 as Asif celebrated his maiden wicket for Royals.
The 29-year-old ended up with 1/27 off his three overs.
It was a strong comeback by Asif after conceding 54 runs off his four overs against Punjab Kings at Guwahati in the early phase of IPL 2023.
