However, it was the birthday boy, Ravindra Jadeja who managed to get rid of the dangerous looking Brandon. On the very first ball of the 11th over, Jadeja decided to drop the length ball outside off stump, because of which, King had to chase the ball down. However, it was too wide for the batsman as the ball turned even further after pitching outside off and Rishabh Pant made no mistake in whipping the bails off behind the stumps to complete the dismissal. 

Here is the video of the dismissal:
