END OF OVER:
20 | 8 Runs | PBKS: 143/9 | RR: 7.15

  • Shikhar Dhawan99 (66b)
  • Mohit Rathee1 (2b)
  • T Natarajan4-0-40-0
  • Bhuvneshwar Kumar4-0-33-1

9.21 pm What an extraordinary 10th wicket partnership. Rathee was out there for five overs but only faced two deliveries. Shikhar shepherded him expertly. They were in danger of being bowled out for under 100 but have clawed to 143. Can they chase it down? Or will Punjab defend it? Stay tuned for the reply.

For those asking, this is the second highest percentage of runs scored in a completed IPL innings that went 20 overs or ended with a team all out. Shikhar's 69.2% of his team's runs is second only to... Brendon McCullum in the first match in IPL history, blazing 158 out of KKR's total of 222 (71.2%). There's also this gem from stats man Sampath Bandarupalli: "Shikhar Dhawan scored 94.55 % of runs during the 10th wicket stand with Mohit Rathee (52 out of 55). It is the highest contribution in an 50-plus stand in IPL."

Punjab Kings captain Shikhar Dhawan: [Takes the orange cap to cheers from the crowd] I'm glad that the Hyderabad crowd remembers me. It's one of the best I've played. It's good because I played to the end and from the other ends wickets are falling. We made a respectable total and now we can fight for that."

Kiran D.S.: "Shikhar Dhawan's innings reminded me of Ben Stokes's heroics in the epic 2019 Headingley Test. Mohit Rathee did a Jack Leach."

Pranav: "This Shikar's innings will be remembered for decades"

Meanwhile, ace Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat could have been at the Asian Wrestling Championships in Kazakhstan today. She could have been training in Poland. Instead, she's at the SAI centre in Sonepat where, apart from training with Bajrang Punia, she's put her career on the line for the biggest fight of her life: taking on the Wrestling Federation of India.
