In the thriller of sorts between Lucknown Super Giants & Royal Challengers Bangalore, Harshal Patel attempted to take Ravi Bishnoi via mankad attempt at the non-striker end. He however barely missed that chance to clip off the bails, thus adding more thrill in the match.
Finally, Avesh Kumar got to score a single by running between the wickets and thus securing victory for his team.

This was yet another hilarious moments between Rajasthan Royals & Gujarat Titans. Wriddhiman Shah at the batter end, in an attempt to hit big boundary, ended up pushing the ball with a top edge. Not one but three fielders run around the ball to catch it but all failed miserably.
The embarrassment was palpable on everyone’s face but the fourth player saved the day by catching the ball. Fans loved the players scrambling for a catch & also posted many memes.

It was a big lifeline for the Dwayne Smith of Deccan Chargers as the rival team CKS blundered on not one but two consecutive run-outs. The series of blunders by CSK’s Jakati resulted in a comedy of errors and gave pertinent reason to audience for a hearty laugh. The commentators were perplexed and the audience was also amused beyond belief. Fans sitting in the stadium laughed it out.
