With two runs needed from four balls in the final over, Mishra tried to take a cheeky single off the third ball of the over but he ended up running in front of the stumps and Khaleel Ahmed’s throw hit him on his arm. The Sunrisers Hyderabad fielders were convinced that Mishra was obstructing the field and he was given out by the third umpire.
