During Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) match number 22 on July 23, 2024, Ajay Krishna from Siechem Madurai Panthers bowled a perfect delivery at U Mukilesh which broke the center stump into two pieces. In this particular game, Siechem Madurai Panthers won the toss and asked Lyca Kovai Kings to bat first at Indian Cement Company Ground in Tirunelveli.
Ajay Krishna, the right-arm bowler who had been summoned to begin unraveling the knots of an unraveling cricket, joined in for his second over on the twelfth over. On the very first ball, U Mukilesh was sent to pack by Ajay. Ajay bowled a cross-seam delivery that swung in towards the right hander.
The swing outside the off-stump was what made this particular delivery so enticing to him; however, he missed it and consequently set it off towards the middle. It hit one of those stumps clear in two parts β a straight line across their height. After 11.1 overs, he had scored 21 runs from 18 balls but Lyca Kovia Kings had only 86 for three wickets without him.
