#1 Marcus Stoinis takes Mohit Sharma to the cleaners

PBKS batter Marcus Stoinis dazzled the viewers with his blistering batting exploits in return. The all-rounder helped his side finish with a flurry, striking four sixes and three fours in his unbeaten 44-run knock.

DC pacer Mohit Sharma was at the receiving end of Stoinis' carnage in the penultimate over of the innings. Punjab were under pressure after Kuldeep Yadav dismissed Shreyas Iyer and Azmatullah Omarzai in the 18th over.

However, Stoinis swung the pendulum in his team's favor by accumulating 22 runs in the 19th over. He hit two sixes and as many fours off Mohit's bowling.

#2 Karun Nair hits four successive 4s against Harsh Dubey

Karun Nair dominated the proceedings against his Vidarbha teammate in the contest. Nair hit the PBKS left-arm spinner for four consecutive fours in the 11th over.

The batter sent the third and fourth balls of the over to the ropes by acing the sweep shot. Dubey shortened his length in the subsequent delivery, but Nair was quick to go on the back foot and pulled it for another four.

The over ended with Nair sending the ball to the boundary ropes with a sweep once again.
