Punjab Kings (PBKS) batter Atharva Taide has become the second cricketer to be retired out in IPL history.
Atharva left the field after the 15th over of PBKS' innings against Delhi Capitals (DC) after scoring 55(42).
A batter is considered retired out if he retires his innings without the umpire's permission and cannot resume the innings.
That happened during Punjab’s game against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala on Wednesday (May 17).
The left-hander walked off after scoring an unbeaten 55 off 42 at a strike rate of 130.95, including two sixes and five boundaries.
For the uninitiated, Rajasthan Royals (RR) batter Ravichandran Ashwin was the first IPL player to retire out, doing so against Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium last season.
