Tilak Varma smashed the ball towards deep mid-wicket but ended up hitting the head of the Spider Cam and fell on the no man’s land.

The electrifying clash between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Mumbai Indians (MI) witnessed a bizarre incident that left pacer Harshal Patel fuming. The visitors had a great outing on Thursday in Mullanpur as they piled up 192/7 in 20 overs. Suryakumar Yadav fired a 53-ball 78 while the likes of Rohit Sharma and Tilak Varma made notable contributions. But it was the final over of MI’s innings that saw a little drama unfolding as Patel bowled an extra delivery.

After conceding 5 runs and dismissing Tim David in the first three balls, Patel bowled a short ball moving away from the off stump. Tilak Varma heaved it towards deep mid-wicket but ended up hitting the head of the Spider Cam and fell on the no man’s land. Going by the rules, the umpire ruled it out dead, leaving Patel with no choice but to bowl it again which left him frustrated as he vented it out by mincing a few words.
