WATCH: Arjun Tendulkar's Toe-Crushing Yorker Leaves PBKS Batter Clueless, Claims His 2nd IPL Wicket
Arjun Tendulkar took his second IPL wicket with a sharp yorker that trapped the batter in front of the wicket

Arjun Tendulkar, son of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, produced a moment of magic as he bowled Prabhsimran Singh with an in-swinging yorker on Saturday.

The incident happened on the fourth ball of the seventh over during number 31 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

MI’s Arjun Tendulkar bowled it straight and full, right at the feet of Prabhsimran as the Punjab batter was trapped in front of the stumps. Prabhsimran could not bring down his bat in time hit his back boot right in front of the middle stump.

The referee Chris Gaffaney took his time and judged it to be out.

Prabhsimran reviewed the decision as ball-tracking showed the ball would have gone on to crash into the base of the middle stump. The third umpire advises Gaffaney to stay with his decision as Prabhsimran had to walk back to the dressing room after making 26 runs from 17 balls, including one strike to the boundary and two over it.
