Markram rang as soon as he was out, forced to blow the bat after flying middle stumps; Watch video
Lucknow Super Giants batsman Aidan Markram was bowled by playing a bad shot against Punjab Kings and after that he expressed his anger on the ground. Markram was so disappointed as he was about to kill the ground as he set the middle stump on the ball of Arshdeep Singh. The incident caught the attention of the audience in the grounds of Dharamshala.
Aden Markram’s day was not special in the IPL 2025 match being played between Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants in Dharamshala. Chasing the target of 237 runs, Lucknow started poorly, and Markram was dismissed for just 5 runs.
Fast bowler Arshdeep Singh harassed the batsmen from the beginning. In the first over, the ball kept missing the bat repeatedly, but in the second over, Arshdeep won. He first dismissed Mitchell Marsh and then made Markram walk on the fifth ball of the over.
The ball was a back of length, which was going out. Markram tried to play a cut shot, but the ball started to go directly into the middle stump from the inner edge of the bat. As soon as it was out, Markram could not stop his anger and almost turned the bat.

This moment became a topic of discussion on social media, because this anger of Markram, usually considered quiet, is rarely seen on the field. This spell of Arshdeep gave Punjab an early lead and put Lucknow under pressure.
