During the 34th match of the 11th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at Indore, Kings XI Punjab’s Mujeeb Ur Rahman sent back Ishan Kishan after he hit him for a smashing six over deep midwicket.

After Rohit Sharma won the toss and put Kings XI Punjab in to bat, the home team started in the affirmative as Lokesh Rahul and Chris Gayle stitched a 54-run stand for the first wicket. Gayle per se was looking set to play a notable knock. In the middle overs, wickets fell and so did the run rate to the extent that Punjab’s innings looked in shambles at one point in time. They eventually scored 176-6 in their allotted quota of 20 overs.

Kishan played all around a slider.

In the second innings, Mumbai Indians got off to a slow start. Evin Lewis (10) walking back to the pavilion in the last over of the powerplay didn’t help their case either. What further dented their progress was the downfall of Kishan, who had replaced Lewis in the middle. He was the third Indians’ batsman to return back to the dressing room.

Rahman, who was introduced into the bowling attack in the last over of the powerplay, was the man behind the dismissal of Kishan.

On the penultimate delivery of the 13th over, Kishan slogged-swept Rahman for a six over deep midwicket. On the following ball, Kishan stepped out to a slider, thereby creating enough room for the ball to travel past his bat and pad to hit the stumps. He ended up scoring 25 (19) with the help of three sixes. Watch the full video:
