Left-arm spinner Harpreet Brar came in to bowl the 17th over as there were two right-handed batters on the pitch. Brar started his over with a quick delivery around the leg stump in order to cramp Virat Kohli for the room.

The star RCB batter tried to paddle it toward the fine-leg region but wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma showed brilliant anticipation. Furthermore, the ball lobbed off the bottom of the bat as Jitesh dived to his left and took a stunning one-handed catch to get rid of the dangerous Virat Kohli.

After the dismissal of Kohli, RCB sent their pinch hitter Glenn Maxwell to score quickly in the last four overs of their innings. Harpreet Brar bowled a flighted delivery as Maxwell moved towards the leg stump and tried playing a slog right on the first ball he faced.

Glenn Maxwell ended up slicing the delivery as it went high in the air while Atharva Taide moved to his left from the cover-point region and took a pretty simple catch. RCB fans couldn’t believe it as Harpreet Brar got back-to-back wickets getting rid of two threatening RCB batters and bringing the PBKS side back into the game.

Harpreet Brar just gave 8 runs in the 17th over and finished with the figures of 2 for 31 in his three overs. He completely changed the complexion of the game as the RCB innings never got the momentum back as they could only post a total of 174-4 in the RCB vs PBKS game.
