PBKS Star Xavier Bartlett made a horrific blunder, the Internet says “Even a child will not make such a mistake”

Punjab Kings (PBK) performed a Hercuulian work in front of him, defending 111 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at his IPL 2025 Clash in New Chandigarh. However, he was allowed to go down badly by his fielding. Many fielders made dirty errors, which were leading to many boundaries for KKR. The most comic of errors was made by Australian Xavier Bartlett in a fine-leg. They collected the ball safely, but it somehow slipped with his hands as he tried to throw it, and went for four behind it. PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer was not pleased at all.

Even more cheerful, KKR was given five runs for Bartlet’s error to KKR. This is because it was counted as an uprooting as he had collected the ball properly before the error, so counting the slip-up as an uprooting. KKR batsmen Venkatesh Iyer and Angkrish Raghuvanshi also run the same, which gave it up to five.

Earlier, in KKR’s run chase, PBKS fielder Shashank Singh had made several misfields near the border ropes going to fours to Angkrish Raghuvanshi.

This is the most comedy of comedy errors of errors seen on a cricket field. Voopsi, Xavier Bartlet.#IPL2025

Pbks vs KKR, IPL 2025: As happened

Harshit Rana has never allowed Punjab Kings (PBK) batsmen to roar in his home position by Harshit Rana and some of the good fielding by Ramandip Singh as the defending champion Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) excluded them for just 111 in 15.3 overs in Mullanpur on Tuesday.

PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer was against his former team, due to which he won the title last year. But with a two -ball duck and a Shambolic batting performance for his team’s name, it proved to be a bad dream.

After choosing the option to bat first, PBKS left for a good start. Openers Priyash Arya and Prabhasimran came out blazing all guns.

Both feasted at the pace of Vaibhav Arora, for 20 runs, with three fours and a six, with the invasive of Prabasimran.

However, the combo of Fielder, Harshit Rana and Ramandip Singh kicked the fall of PBKS, as Priyash (12 balls in 22 balls, with three fours and a six) and Skipar Shras Iyer (0) were rejected in a single over. PBK was 39/2 in 3.4 overs.

In the fifth over, Josh Englandis was cleaned by Varun Chakraborty for only two. PBK was 42/3 in 4.5 overs.

In the final of the powerplay, Prabhasimran launched joyful for two sixes, which was surprised by the loss of wickets. But once again, Prabhasimran was removed by a Harshit-Ramandip pair in 15 balls with two fours and three sixes. The PBKS was 54/4 at the end of the powerplay.

Nehal Wadhera and Glenn Maxwell tried to sew a partnership. However, Enrich Nortze was caught by Vashera (10) by Venkatesh Iyer, while trying a flick, in Deep Square leg. PBK was 74/5 in 8.4 overs.

It was later, to dominate Glenn Maxwell (7), the turn of spinners continued his bad run, rejecting by Varun Chakraborty.

Sunil Narin also picked up Suryash Shej (4) and Marco Jansen (1). PBK was 86/8 in 11 overs.

Thanks to six from Shashank Singh, PBK reached a 100 -run mark in 13.3 overs.

In the 16th over, Shashank (18 in 17 balls, one four and six) and Xavier Bartlet (11 in 15 balls) were rejected. PBK was out for 111 in 15.3 overs.

Harshit (3/25) was the bowlers’ picks for KKR, while Narine (2/14) and Varun (2/21) were also fantastic. Vaibhav and Nortje got one wicket.
