Mumbai Indians (MI) pacer Deepak Chahar delivered a sensible knuckleball to dismiss Punjab Kings (PBKS) opener Priyansh Arya during Match 58 of IPL 2026 in Dharamsala on Thursday, May 14. The wicket got here on the third ball of the sixth over in PBKS’ innings.
Deepak Chahar bowled a back-of-a-length delivery outside off stump that jagged back in sharply. Priyansh committed early to the shot, just for the ball to sneak through and crash into the highest of the leg stump. Watch the video here:
