Suyash Sharma to Josh Inglis, out Nehal Wadhera Run Out! 1 run completed. Oh no—a complete mix-up! Both batters end up stranded at the bowler’s end, and it’s a disaster for PBKS at this crucial stage.
It was a short ball outside off, and Inglis punched it straight back over the bowler. Content with a single, he turned away as David came in quickly from long-on. But Wadhera, charging in for the second, realized too late that Inglis had no intention of running again. Result: a heartbreaking run-out and a big blow to Punjab’s hopes.
Shreyas Iyer’s inconsistent run with the bat continued on Sunday as he fell cheaply to Royal Challengers Bengaluru debutant Romario Shepherd, triggering a collapse for Punjab Kings after a promising start in Mullanpur.
The dismissal was followed by another setback—an unfortunate run-out of the in-form Nehal Wadhera, who was caught short after a miscommunication with Josh Inglis. Earlier, Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh had given the hosts a solid platform, but Krunal Pandya struck twice on either side of the powerplay to remove both openers and shift the momentum.

At the toss, Rajat Patidar chose to bowl first as PBKS and RCB clashed for the second time in just three days. Punjab, riding on recent form, stuck with an unchanged XI, while RCB brought in West Indies all-rounder Romario Shepherd in place of the underperforming Liam Livingstone.

In their previous meeting—a rain-shortened 14-over match—Punjab came out on top after RCB collapsed with the bat. Despite a late half-century from Tim David helping them post 96, it wasn’t enough, as Punjab chased it down comfortably, powered by Nehal Wadhera’s quickfire 33 off 19 balls.
