Mayank, who has impressed throughout the season with his pace and consistency, was momentarily put on the back foot as Inglis launched three clean strikes—each sailing into the stands with authority. The timing, placement, and sheer confidence of the shots showcased Inglis's class and leadership as he looked to anchor PBKS’s innings with a mix of composure and aggression.
The three consecutive sixes not only energized the PBKS camp but also tilted the pressure back on LSG, who had started to gain control with tight bowling. Inglis’s assault disrupted their rhythm and sparked a momentum shift.
