Arshdeep Singh to Sherfane Rutherford
OUT! RUN OUT! Rahul Tewatia falls and more than the wicket, it is a dot to start the over for the Punjab Kings. Low full toss, on off, Sherfane Rutherford looks to drill it away on the off side. The shot gets miscued towards the bowler. It goes on the bounce towards Singh, who sticks out his left hand. The ball grazes his left hand and goes on to hit the stumps at the bowling end. Tewatia is backing up too far and is caught well short.
