Nita Ambani shell shocked [Source: @Vipul_Espeaks/x.com]
Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings are putting up a fine show at the Narendra Modi Stadium in the Qualifier 2 of the Indian Premier League. MI posted a challenging 203/6 and were on the front-foot heading into the mid innings break as no team has ever-chased 200-plus against them.
Why Nita Ambani gave a shocking reaction?
However, to their surprise, the Punjab Kings batters came out all guns blazing and the assault was led by Josh Inglis who scored a terrific 38 off 21 and led the foundation for a win. MI did churn out a couple of wickets and had the chance to scalp the big fish, Nehal Wadhera, but Trent Boult made a mess of a simple catch.
In the 10th over, Hardik Pandya bowled a short-pitched ball as Wadhera miscued the pull shot and Boult at long-leg had all the time to take a simple catch. However, the ball slipped from his grasp as the ball traced away for a boundary. This infuriated not only the MI players, but team owner, Nita Ambani, who was shell-shocked and looked in disbelief.
The catch proved to be costly as Wadhera then showed his class and resurrected himself with a brilliant knock.
Drop catch to be costly for MI?
PBKS needed to defy history to chase down 204 and for that, they needed almost everyone to chip in. When Nehal Wadhera came out to bat, the match was at a critical stage and the drop proved to be costly as it gave a new found life to the PBKS batter and he never looked back as he tore apart the MI bowlers and if PBKS go onto win the match, the drop could prove to be the turning point.
