The first ball of the 6th over bowled by Bhuvneshwar Kumar was a dot ball. On the second ball of the over, Bhuvneshwar bowled a slower delivery on a length around the middle and leg. The West Indies batter played his shot too early, completely missed his stroke and the ball smashed into the top of the leg stump.

Brooks was able to score 20 runs off 15 balls, including 2 fours and 1 six, before being dismissed by the Indian pacer. Also, the next four deliveries of the last over of the powerplay, bowled by Bhuvneshwar, were dot balls and he finished with a wicket-maiden.
