DHARAMSALA, May 5: Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting revealed it was skipper Shreyas Iyer’s tactical call to promote Josh Inglis to number 3 to counter Lucknow Super Giants’ tearaway pacer Mayank Yadav.
To everyone’s surprise Inglis, who has batted mostly in the middle order this season, walked in during the very first over after opener Priyansh Arya fell cheaply and immediately set the tone for PBKS’ innings.
The Australian wicketkeeper-batter smashed a 14-ball 30, which included four sixes — three of them coming in successive deliveries off Mayank in the second over. (Agencies)
