Soon enough the new bowler Kuldeep Sen gave them 2 crucial back-to-back breakthroughs in the form of their two main batsmen Faf Du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell turning the table towards their team. All the hopes were on Dinesh Kartik now as he was the only person who can make them win the match but even he got run out by Yuzvendra Chahal.
