Mumbai Indians' pacer Deepak Chahar delivered a classic delivery to get his team a crucial wicket in their IPL 2026 clash against the Punjab Kings in Dharamshala on Thursday, May 14.

After an decent start by the Punjab Kings in the first five overs, Chahar handed MI a much-needed breakthrough by cleaning up the opener Priyansh Arya with a perfect slower one.

Batting first on the asking of the MI skipper Jasprit Bumrah, Punjab Kings raced to a decent start as openers Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh attacked the MI pacers right from the beginning. They smashed quite a few runs at a very quick rate in the first five overs.

Arya looked in good touch, set to go all out in the final over of the powerplay. However, Chahar then brilliantly used his experience in the sixth over to break the partnership at a right time.
