New Delhi: Mumbai Police who are known for their sarcastic tweets took a dig at Punjab Kings after the side lost an IPL match against Mumbai Indians by six wickets on Wednesday. This was a forgetful match for Arshdeep Singh as the pacer bowled his most expensive over of the ongoing Indian Premier League giving 66 runs in 3.5 overs and also scalped the wicket of Ishan Kishan.
Earlier, during the clash against Mumbai Indians Arshdeep was on fire as the pacer broke down back to back two stumps and after that, his franchise took their Twitter and posted a photo of stump saying that; we’d like to report a crime.
Hey @MumbaiPolice, we’d like to report a crime.

PBKS vs MI Match Report
When Punjab Kings, after being put in to bat first, posted 214/3, thanks to Liam Livingstone’s scintillating 82 off 42 balls and Jitesh Sharma continuing his good form to be unbeaten on 49 off 27 balls, while sharing a 119-run stand for the fourth wicket, it seemed Mumbai Indians were on the backfoot.
After conceding 69 runs in the last five overs, Mumbai were even further pushed backwards when Rishi Dhawan dismissed Rohit Sharma for a three-ball duck in the first over and lost Cameron Green in the last over of power-play.
But Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav had other ideas at the IS Bindra PCA Stadium on Wednesday. In front of a vociferous crowd, Kishan slammed a terrific 75 while Suryakumar brought out his innovative array of shots in a whirlwind 66 as the duo shared a match-winning partnership of 116 for the third wicket to help Mumbai Indians chase down 215 and beat Punjab Kings by six wickets.
