Bizarre things have happened in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and another incident took place in the 20th over of the CSK innings.
Harshal Patel was given the responsibility to bowl the last over. Known as the death over specialist, Harshal had a tough task ahead of him in front of a rampant CSK batters, who simply toyed away with him in the previous overs.
In the second ball of the last over, Harshal bowled a slower delivery, that apparently slipped out of his hand and was clearly a waist high full toss, called a no-ball. RCB challenged for it and the decision stayed with CSK.
Again, in the third delivery after a couple of wides, Harshal bowled yet another high-full toss which was once again called a no-ball. As per the rules, if a bowler bowls two waist high full tosses, he could be dismissed by the umpires. That is exactly what happened as Maxwell stepped in to complete the final over.
Talking about the match, CSK took on the RCB bowlers right from the word go and hammered them for a mammoth 226 for 6. The Yellow Army struck 17 sixes, which itself is a record.
