It happened when LSG put up a mammoth total of 257-5 in their 20 overs, which was the second-highest total in the history of the IPL. On the other hand, Shikhar Dhawan, the captain of PBKS, was dismissed in the opening over.
However, Atharva Taide’s entry gave the team and their fans much-needed optimism for the gigantic run chase. Despite his partner, Prabhsimran Singh, struggling at the other end, Taide took it upon himself to lead the charge.
He, along with Sikandar Raza, put on a strong 78-run partnership for the third wicket. His superb innings of 66 runs off just 36 deliveries, with an impressive strike rate of 183.33, eventually came to an end on the last ball of the 13th over when he was caught and bowled by Ravi Bishnoi.
Although PBKS ultimately fell short of the daunting 258-run target, Atharva Taide’s remarkable performance under pressure was a testament to his potential as a top-class cricketer.
