In a dramatic moment during the clash between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, tempers flared as Mustafizur Rahman lost his cool with teammate Sediqullah Atal. The incident occurred on the final ball of the Punjab Kings’ innings, when Marcus Stoinis mistimed a slower delivery from Mustafizur, sending it high towards the midwicket region.
Both Mustafizur and Atal sprinted toward the ball, but poor communication led to confusion. Though they narrowly avoided a collision, the catch was dropped, much to Mustafizur’s visible frustration.

Punjab Kings, despite early setbacks, managed to post a formidable 206/8. They lost two wickets in the powerplay and were 118/4 at one point. However, captain Shreyas Iyer anchored the innings with a fluent 53 off 34 balls, while Marcus Stoinis unleashed a brutal 44 off just 16 deliveries, including 4 sixes. Josh Inglis (32) and Prabhsimran Singh (28) chipped in with handy contributions.
