The feud between Marcus Stoinis and Arshdeep Singh hit the headlines in Hobart as the two Punjab Kings (PBKS) teammates shared a heated moment amid the intense battle between India and Australia in the ongoing third T20I at Bellerive Oval.
Marcus Stoinis, who was looking dangerous with the bat, went for a big shot at long-on off a low full toss from Arshdeep Singh, but the Australian all-rounder could not get the placement right.

Since Stoinis couldn’t find the distance, he couldn’t clear the ropes, and India’s substitute fielder Rinku Singh made no mistake, taking a clean catch at long-on to end his explosive innings of 64 off 39 balls in Hobart, studded with eight fours and two sixes.

Earlier, in the 18th over, Rinku Singh had missed the chance to dismiss the Australian all-rounder on the ball of Arshdeep Singh. The Indian batsman thought he had taken a clean catch to dismiss Stoinis, but replays showed that the ball had touched the ground before it reached his hands.
However, this time Rinku did not make any mistake. After dismissing Stoinis, Arshdeep walked forward smiling and punched his Punjab Kings (PBKS) teammate, showing the true spirit of the game between the rivals from IPL brothers.
