With the Royals chasing the game, Sanju Samson stepped up to the crease with only one thing on his mind: Boundaries.
And a huge slog from Samson looked destined for a six - but Pooran made sure that wasn't going to happen.
With the ball sailing high into the sky, the wicketkeeper-batsman positioned himself on the boundary and made a leaping save to stop the ball from going for six runs.
