The chase was on for SRH and it all seemed like SRH were cruising at one point in time but they decided to take the game deep and dug a hole for themselves. When SRH needed 18 runs from 15 balls, Jason Holder tried to take a single after tapping it to point and what followed after that was an absolutely scary incident that took the fans and players aback
Though, the single was on, Nicholas Pooran was quick to get to the ball and decided to have a shy at the stumps but it took the helmet of Vijay Shankar who seemed flummoxed with the ball hitting his helmet at such a high speed and the players ran towards him and it is also believed that he passed the concussion tests only to get out in the very next ball of the over and left his team stuttering at 110 for the loss of 5 wickets.
Earlier, KXIP managed to score a mere 126 runs in their 20 overs. Nicholas Pooran played to the situation where he scored 33 off 28 balls that had no sixes in it and this innings was in complete contrast to that of his previous knock against Delhi Capitals where he scored 53 off 28 balls.
