Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) are locking horns with each other in the 64th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai. In the second innings, Shikhar Dhawan and Bhanuka Rajapaksa were at the same end, but luckily none of them lost their wicket after a crazy incident. It was largely due to a panicky throw by Lalit Yadav.

PBKS skipper, Mayank Agarwal won the toss and decided to bowl first citing chances of dew later in the innings. During the chase of 160 runs, PBKS had raced to 38/1 at the end of four overs, with Jonny Bairstow falling after scoring a brisk 15-ball 28. Bhanuka Rajapaksa came to bat at No. 3 and joined Shikhar Dhawan, who was batting on run-a-ball nine.

The fifth over was bowled by Lalit Yadav, DC’s first attack with a spinner tonight. The fourth ball was full on the stumps, which Dhawan flicked towards midwicket and chaged down the ground for a single. However, Rajapaksa from the non-strikers end did not move an inch, and at one point, both batters were at the same end.

But then, Lalit Yadav picked up the ball and released it towards Rishabh Pant in a hurry. He was panicking, and as a result, the ball sailed wide of the DC captain and ended up at gully. Rajapaksa, after watching all that, completed the run.

Here is the video of the incident:
