The emerging player made the most of the chance by claiming 4 wickets in his spell of 4 overs. All of them were important wickets. He first dismissed Jitesh Sharma with an arm ball that hit the top of the off and middle stumps. The left-arm spinner followed it up with a brilliant dismissal of Ashutosh Sharma who has been finishing the games well for PBKS so far this season.

The GT bowler then got the big wicket of Shashank Singh who has been the best batter of PBKS in the season. Sai Kishore got rid of Harpreet Brar, the best batter of PBKS in the night, who scored 29 runs in 12 balls. The spell from the Tamil Nadu spinner helped GT to have an upper hand in the first innings.
