Punjab Kings (PBKS) PACER XAVIER BARTLETT ended up giving four free races during the match against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) tonight in the current premier league (IPL 2025). The madness was even more expensive since Pbks defended a low score of only 111 races.
The incident occurred in the penultimate ball of the eighth on Bowled by Yuzvendra Chahal.
Venkatesh Iyer swept the ball to the long leg when Barlett ran to his left and picked up the ball cleanly, but then as he formed to throw it towards the field, the ball came out of his hand and went to the limit. It was told about four overthrows, in addition to a single that the KKR batters ran.
