During the 22nd match of the 11th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Delhi Daredevils (DD) and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) at Delhi, Kings XI Punjab’s fielders created a madhouse in the middle which resulted in the opposition team getting 5 overthrow runs.

After Gautam Gambhir put Kings XI Punjab in to bat, the visitors lost wickets at regular intervals which didn’t help their case. In their allotted quota of 20 overs, Kings XI Punjab scored 143-8. Liam Plunkett, who made his IPL debut tonight, was the pick of the Daredevils’ bowlers as he picked up figures of 4-0-17-3.

In the second innings, Kings XI Punjab’s bowlers bowled a tight line and length to dismiss the top order of the opposition. Their fielding was also up to the mark until this comedy of errors happened in the sixth over.

On the last delivery of the powerplay, Shreyas Iyer had played a slower delivery from Andrew Tye on the leg-side. In a bid to stop the batsmen from running the second run, David Miller rushed in a throw which Tye had failed to collect. The throw, in the first place, wasn’t up to the mark.

Aaron Finch, who was backing up at the non-striker’s end, too missed the ball after Tye failed to collect it. As a result of which, the ball went to the boundary and the Daredevils got five runs as overthrows. Watch the full video:
