Shardul Thakur had bowled a wide yorker to Rashid Khan and the umpire looked like he was about to stretch his arms to signal a wide but then an animated reaction from the former India skipper, MS Dhoni, led to Reiffel change his mind mid-way and not give the ball a wide.

David Warner, captain of SunRisers Hyderabad who was sitting at the dugout was not pleased with the umpire’s final decision.

When SRH arrived on the field to chase, their skipper David Warner was shown his way back to the dugout in the 4th over when Curran dismissed him with a caught and bowled.

Manish Pandey, too, could not leave an impression in the match as he went back to the dressing room too soon when he misjudged a run and Dwayne Bravo threw the ball for a direct hit from the mid-off.
