Punjab Kings (PBKs), on Tuesday (April 1), inflicted a strong defeat of eight wickets at Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to expand its winning start to the 2025 Premier League League 2025 (IPL 2025) premier.
Punjab’s dress completely dominated the game and beat LSG to record his second victory of the season. While the PBKs players won a splendid performance in the game, it was the wide ones who became the city’s conversation at the end of the game.
Umpires announced some strategic waiting time with PBKs that needed 1 roll to win
The reason they decided to announce the strategic time when PBKs needed only one race to win the game. The scores were level after the end of the 16th when the Umpires in the countryside decided to announce the time, leaving many surprises.
According to the existing rules, each team gets a strategic time of three minutes per entry. The bowling team gets time between 6-9, while the battle team between 13-16. In case a team does not take their strategic waiting time before 16, it is automatically applied after that.
So the ample ones had just followed the rules, but the call left many and confused. Here are some of the reactions to the decision of the fields.
Here are some reactions:
Finally we have done it. A strategic waiting time in the # With a career to win four points. Not many people know, but as a strategy analyst, this is where you come to life. This is the time when you are formed, the final test. Everything has been building up to that moment

One of the races needed to win and there is a strategic way out. LSG players can now strategize how to avoid their owner at a team meeting.

Last week, former Captain of England, Michael Vaughan, had also fun in the IPL after a similar call from the Umpires. Vaughan could not stop taking an excavation in the IPL after LSG had to take some time when they only needed 2 runs of the last 24 balls.
Only at IPL can you have a strategic time with 2 needs of 24 balls with 5 WKTS remaining .. 😜 #India
