Kunal Pandya was applauded for withdrawing the run out appeal against KL Rahul given the spirit of cricket shown by him and his captain Rohit Sharma. The 30-year-old did get KL Rahul out of the crease for a yard, but it was not that easy. He had collected the ball strangely after Chris Gayle hit Rahul directly at the non-striker’s end. This was followed by a counterattack by Krunal who removed the bails in a jiffy. The umpire also went up as Krunal appealed for a run out but later withdrew. Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma also supported his move and asked the umpire not to pursue it.

Leaving KL Rahul at such a crucial juncture could have been fatal for Mumbai as they are in a winning position against Punjab. Fortunately, Rahul did not stay for long and left shortly thereafter. While Krunal has been ruthlessly trolled for his poor performance in the IPL so far, Mumbai’s winning streak also did not help matters. His poor form with bat and ball has been a cannon fodder for his opponents, who are making the most of his poor performance on social media.

Earlier, Kieron Pollard became the only cricketer to complete the double of 10,000 runs and 300 wickets in T20 cricket. Pollard, who played for Mumbai Indians, achieved this feat against Punjab Kings. West Indies managed to achieve the feat with KL Rahul and his own compatriot Chris Gayle in just a few balls. Pollard was handed this over at a time when Mumbai were struggling to take quick wickets. They had removed Mandeep Singh, but the big fish: KL Rahul was looking good. Kudos to Pollard, Mumbai started a short collapse in the Punjab ranks as they were reduced to 50/4.
