Jofra did not stop here and after that the Punjab captain also made his victim in this over. Shreyas gathered aggressive but beautiful fours on the first ball as soon as he came to the crease. Iyer then hit another four, but on the last ball of the over, Archer again showed his amazing and bowled Iyer and gave Punjab 2 big shocks in the first over itself. This wonder of Archer pushed Punjab to the backfoot.
CSK player also slept during the match
By the way, the first players were not the first to sleep during the Archer match. Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals also collided on Saturday just before this match of Punjab-Rajasthan. In this match, during the batting of Chennai, the team's young player Dynasty was seen sleeping in Bedi Dugout, while a senior player like Ravindra Jadeja was also present next to him. However, the dynasty was not part of the playing XI for this match, but still this photo of him became quite viral.
