Punjab Kings opener Priyansh Aryan smashed maiden half century after being dropped by Khaleel Ahmed on the second ball of the first over. A fullish ball from the left arm pacer swung in a bit from leg-stump. Arya tried to flick it across but the bat turns on impact and he gets a leading edge. Khaleel leaps to his right on his follow-through and gets a hand to it but fails to latch onto the opportunity.
After being handed a lifeline the youngster reached half century of just 19 balls despite wickets falling like pack of cards at other end
