Indian Premier League 2024 Match 27 pitted Rajasthan Royals vs. Punjab Kings. It turned out that Mullanpur’s MYIC Stadium was a batter’s worst nightmare. RR chose to bowl first after winning the toss. Initially, Atharva Taide and Jonny Bairstow handled a few tight deliveries. After scoring fifteen runs apiece, they left. Prabhsimran Singh was the only middle-order batsman to reach 20 runs.
Liam Livingstone unexpectedly batted down the order, while Prabhsimran scored 29 runs. Ashutosh Sharma’s rapid 31 off 16 strokes breathed life into the PBKS innings, even as Livingstone scored 21 runs. On a field that was on the slower side, Punjab managed a valiant 147 runs. Keshav Maharaj and Avesh Khan each claimed two wickets for RR.
Avesh Khan and Sanju Samson’s misunderstanding cost them a wicket.
Up until Ashutosh came to the crease, RR had a firm hold on the match. After being cautious at first, the batter started to smash boundaries. In the 19th over of that particular phase, Avesh bowled an angled ball because the Punjab batsman mistimed. Sanju and Avesh both lunged for the ball as it soared, only to let it escape them.

The cleaners hear Ashutosh Sharma speaking to Avesh Khan.
Sharma batted as though he were playing on a whole different pitch. The right-handed batsman gave the Punjab innings, which were devoid of maximums, one. His assault caused PBKS to increase their run rate from less than six to more than seven runs per over.

Another miscommunicated catch attempt involves Sanju.
There was a silver lining to the RR captain’s involvement in yet another catching effort. A misplaced pull caused the ball to travel vertically while Avesh was bowling to Jitesh. Sanju’s gloves provided cover below, allowing Kuldeep Sen to grasp the catch even though it was intended for the wicketkeeper.
Who can read Avesh’s lips and figure out what he said there?
