Tasked with the responsibility of preventing Mumbai Indians from reaching the target of 214 runs, Punjab Kings pacer Arshdeep Singh struggled to repeat his death-bowling heroics in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match on Wednesday.

Arshdeep was taken apart by MI batters, including Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, conceding a whopping 66 runs in just 3.5 overs.

As the match ended in the favour of Rohit Sharma's MI, Arshdeep found himself trending on Twitter, with fans unleashing memes and jokes on the micro-blogging platform.

Courtesy of his disastrous performance against the 5-time champions Mumbai Indians, Arshdeep registered an unwanted record for conceding the most runs without bowling full quota of 4 overs in T20 match.

Liam Livingstone was dropped by Anrich Nortje at deep mid-wicket while Yash Dhull could not complete an easy catch in the deep to dismiss Atharva Taide. Even a run-out chance went begging as both batters were left stranded but the throw from the fielder was totally wayward.
