While he was bowled for 99 by Rajasthan Royals(RR) pace bowler Jofra Archer on Friday, he was left stranded on the same score during KXIP's match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) last year.

Unfortunately, KXIP lost both the games.

Among others to be either dismissed or get stranded on 99 are Mumbai Indians' Ishan Kishan, Royal Challengers Bangalore's Virat Kohli, Chennai Super Kings' Suresh Raina, and Delhi Capitals' Prithvi Shaw.

Kishan fell for 99 against RCB in their match on September 28.
