GIF: 6 runs conceded without bowling a legal delivery

Lasith Malinga bowled a wide delivery in an IPL match against Delhi Daredevils which was deflected by the Mumbai Indians keeper Aditya Tare towards a helmet lying on the ground, thereby conceding 6 runs as a result of the 5-run penalty for the ball hitting the helmet. With the Mumbai Indians batsmen not putting up enough runs on the board in this season, this is the last thing the team would need.

The helmet has managed to trouble the scorers more than what Gautam Gambhir, the Kolkata Knight Riders captain, has done so far in IPL 2014 with scores of 0,0,0,1 in his 4 encounters.
