Until recently, the Punjab Kings opener had also walked out at the start of an innings for India in Test cricket, and this was a ball worthy of the longest format. The ball was angled in towards the stumps, and even as Agarwal attempted to present the full face of the bat, Chahar found some seam movement, straightening the delivery into the top of off-stump.
By the time Chahar was done, Punjab Kings were in tatters, having lost five wickets, four at the right-armer’s hand. They staged a mini-recovery to 106-8.
