Cricketers call it a rare run-out. Wicket-keeper Suraj Shinde made it happen. He threw the ball, hitting both ends. The video is going viral.
Suraj plays for Puneri Bappa in the Maharashtra Premier League. He played against Raigarh Royals. The run-out was in the first over of the second inning. Royals were chasing a target of 203 runs.
The run-out happened like this: a batsman played a soft shot on the on-side. The ball was going towards the wicket-keeper. The batsman wanted to run, but his partner said no. Suraj threw the ball to the striker’s end, but the batsman made it back. The ball then hit the stumps at the non-striker’s end, getting the other batsman out.
This was the sixth match of the league. Puneri Bappa scored 202 runs. Yash Nahar scored 82, Rishikesh scored 58, and Suraj scored 40. Raigarh’s team got out for 103 runs. Puneri’s bowler Nikit Dhoomal took 5 wickets.
Something similar happened in the Bangladesh Premier League 2022. West Indies player Andre Russell got out in a weird way. Sri Lankan player Thisara Perera threw the ball from the slip cordon, hitting both ends.
Suraj’s run-out was special. It’s not something you see every day in cricket. The video is being shared a lot on social media.
Puneri Bappa won the match by 99 runs. Their bowlers did a great job. The team is doing well in the league.
This kind of run-out is rare. But it’s not the first time it’s happened. Cricketers know it’s a tough way to get out. The batsmen have to be careful when running.
The Maharashtra Premier League is exciting. There are many talented players. Fans are enjoying the matches. The league is getting popular.
