Toronto Nationals, led by Yuvraj, was put in to bat first by the Vancouver Knights’ skipper Chris Gayle and the former got off to a jittery start. Yuvi came out in the middle at the fall of Calum Macleod but looked completely out of touch with the bat.
He faced 27 balls for his 14 before being given out stumped by the✅ square-leg umpire. Yuvraj got𝔍 an edge which the wicketkeeper dropped and deflected the ball on to the stumps. The left-hander was still inside his crease as per the replays, but he had already walked off the field before the replays were checked as the square-leg umpire had raised his finger.
