Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) decision to promote Mitchell Santner higher up the order backfired against Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Monday. The left-hander managed just nine runs from 15 deliveries and was dismissed by Arshdeep Singh in the sixth over of the run chase.

The Kiwi bowling all-rounder perished while trying to play a leg-side flick. He shuffled too far across and exposed his stumps. Santner missed the shot and Arshdeep’s full-length delivery crashed into his stumps, which ended his brief stay in the middle.

The pacer was overjoyed after the dismissal and celebrated the wicket in a unique fashion. The 23-year-old did a celebratory dance after rattling Santner’s timber, which also included a horse-riding gesture.

Arshdeep Singh was one of the two players retained by the Punjab-based franchise ahead of the IPL 2022 mega-auction. The bowler has repaid the faith shown by the management with his inspiring performances in this year’s cash-rich league.

While Singh has picked up just three wickets so far, he has bowled tidy spells at crucial stages for his side. He has been PBKS’s trusted bowler during the death overs and has bowled at a decent economy rate of 8.34.
