The social media battle continues between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings. Ahead of the two teams clashing at Mohali, the PBKS social media administrator uploaded an image of a set of shattered stumps with the caption, “Leaked training image!”. The image showed the off stump and the leg stump present without the bails and the middle stump was not to be seen. When this image was uploaded, there were a lot of reactions from fans.
When MI and PBKS locked horns last time at the Wankhede Stadium, Arshdeep Singh made the headlines when he disrupted the stumps twice while bowling the last over. He did this to the duo of Tilak Varma and Nehal Vadhera. When Arshdeep succeeded in his attempt, he was hailed for this wonderful feat by a number of cricketers. The stumps that Arshdeep broke were estimated to be worth between 24 to 30 Lakh INR. Now, the PBKS social media admin has added fuel to the fire with the recent tweet.
