Kolkata: When a batsman hits four fours and five sixes in his 20-ball innings, it can be imagined how brutally he would be beating the bowlers. Punjab needed an explosive start when Kolkata Knight Riders scored 261 runs after losing the toss and batting first. Prabhsimran Singh, who came as an impact player for his team, did something similar. Started attacking from the first ball. What pacers and what spinners. He defeated everyone and completed his half-century in just 18 balls. It was proving difficult for the KKR bowlers to get him out, but a small mistake ended his innings.
Run out after scoring 54 runs in 20 balls
Actually, after five overs Punjab’s score was 69/0. The last over of the powerplay started. Prabhsimran Singh was standing at the non-strike end after scoring 54 runs in 20 balls, while Jonny Bairstow was present on strike. The responsibility of bowling was with impact player Anukul Roy, who had come to bowl spin as an impact player. Till now, Bairstow, who had been able to score only 12 runs in 10 balls, changed gears in this over and hit 4,6,4,4,6 in the first five balls. The over was going brilliantly. 28 runs had been scored in the first five balls, but in the last over, Prabhsimran Singh was run out on his own call while trying to steal a single.
How did Prabhsimran Singh get run out?
Bowler Anukul Roy bowled the last ball. Which Jonny Bairstow tried to play towards the leg side. The ball took a hit and turned and took the inside edge of the bat towards short fine leg. Prabhsimran Singh, who was present at the non-strike end, made the call and both the batsmen ran, after which the fielder Sunil Narine standing there picked up the ball and hit it directly towards the striker end. The field umpire pointed towards the third umpire. Meanwhile, in the replays it was seen that the batsman was far out of the crease at the time of the throw. Punjab got its first blow at 93 runs. In such a situation, a mistake ended the brilliant innings of Prabhsimran Singh.
