Punjab Kings pacer Arshdeep Singh ran riot with the ball against Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday.

With Mumbai needing 16 runs from the final 6 balls to win the match, Arshdeep gave away just 2 runs while dismissing two batters by breaking their stumps, literally.

As the Kings jokingly 'reported a crime' following their marquee pacer Arshdeep's heroics, Mumbai Police gave a brilliant response on Twitter.

After Arshdeep won the match for PBKS with the dismissals of Tilak Varma and Nehal Wadhera, the franchise tweeted: "Hey @MumbaiPolice, we'd like to report a crime." In response, the Mumbai Police tweeted: "Action is most likely to be taken on breaking the law, not stumps!" Action is most likely to be taken on breaking the law, not stumps!
