Yuzvendra Chahal to Ambati Rayudu
OUT! TAKEN! Yuzvendra Chahal strikes now! The Impact Player goes without making any impact here. Chahal lands this short and around leg, Ambati Rayudu moves back and tries to pull, but loses his shape and is in no position to play that shot. As a result, he mistimes it badly in the air towards deep mid-wicket where Shimron Hetmyer runs to his right and takes a good catch sliding on the ground. This game has turned around in the last two overs or so.
