The start of much-awaited IPL 2025 qualifier two between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings was delayed by two hours as rain was pelting heavily at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. It was a frustrating time for the players as rain was playing hide and seek with constant interruptions.
Meanwhile, the Kings found a way to pass some time amid rains as they engage in a game of football while the umpires were inspecting the outfield. It was a bizarre game of football as a video went viral on the internet where the PBKS players asked Priyansh Arya to stand at a distance and used him as a prop to practice their shots. It appeared as a punishment for Arya but the PBKS stars were targeting Priyansh with the shots, who stood still at one corner.
