It is his first match back after six months out and Yuzvendra Chahal is nervous about his bowling rhythm. He waits for his 14th ball to bowl his first googly, Jonny Bairstow swipes at it and misses. Wicket-keeper Joshua Phillipe is equally surprised and doesn't even get behind the line of that ball and it sails away for four byes. Sunrisers Hyderabad are running away with the game.

When Vijay Shankar walks into the crease, Chahal, now in his last over, decides to try the googly one more time. He gets his line better this time, drawing the drive out of Vijay and bowls him through the gate. The match has turned. He uses the googly only one more time, against the left-handed Abhishek Sharma, but as a defensive option.
