However, the ball was in the air for a while and Harpreet Brar attempted to take a catch but failed.
On the next delivery, Sediqullah Atal attempted to play a big shot but the ball didn’t get too far and Jos Inglis was there to take the catch. However, the PBKS wicketkeeper failed to take an easy catch as Sediqullah Atal survived two catch drops in two consecutive deliveries. PBKS co-owner Preity Zinta also looked in disbelief with these two catch drops. On the very next ball, Atal smashed a huge six against Stoinis. However, his innings couldn’t last long as he was dismissed by Praveen Dubey after scoring 22(16) runs.
