Unbelievable: Batters Collide But Fielders Miss Run-Outs On BOTH Ends, Video Viral
A hilarious sequence of errors from the two batters and fielders left fans watching in disblief during the Kolhapur Tuskers versus Raigad Royals MPL T20 Eliminator.
The Maharashtra Premier League T20 hosted one of the most bizarre incidents one can expect on a cricket field on Friday, June 20, as the close-fought Eliminator clash between Kolhapur Tuskers and Raigad Royals was headlined by a dangerous collision between batters and fielders comically missing run-outs.
Set a target of 165 by the Tuskers, Raigad batter Vicky Ostwal was in the middle of a brilliant knock of 74 off 54 deliveries. Facing opposition left-arm pacer Atman Pore, the right-hander punched a shot off the backfoot and called his batting partner for a two. The duo completed the first run but collided and got tangled up on the second run after being caught ball-watching.
Both fell on the turf, offering the Tuskers an easy run-out opportunity. The most unbelievable scenes unfolded hereafter: the wicketkeeper received a throw from the deep and could get Ostwal, but he curiously decided to throw it to the bowler's end instead of executing the run-out.

At the bowling end, Pore messed up an easy throw and failed to get the non-striker out after he put in a desperate dive.
Alert to the fact that Ostwal was still in danger, Kolhapur fielder and IPL star Rahul Tripathi took the ball and rushed towards the batting end for an aim at the stumps. He still missed from close range and gave Ostwal his moment of relief. The second run was completed with the wicketkeeper once again failing to provide a good account of himself, with no one backing up for the throw.
Another was so disappointed he called for the immediate retirement of all involved. 'Every player on the field should retire immediately,' the user commented, before another joined the list with scathing remarks for Tripathi, questioning why he went for the run-out after seeing the two players collide: 'Sportsmanship died at this match! Shame on You Tripathi!'
The error from Kolhapur came back to haunt them in the must-win encounter as Ostwal returned to his mark and played a magnificent innings to steer Raigad past the finishing line.

Comedy of errors in Maharashtra Premier League as batters collide mid-run, get 2nd life and a boundary due to fielding goof-up
A recent Maharashtra Premier League Qualifier 1 game between Kolhapur Tuskers and Raigad Royals saw a series of comical goof-ups that would left everyone laughing, including in the dugout and the commentary box. A video going viral from the Maharashtra Premier League game shows Raigad Royals' Vicky Ostwal punching a ball from Atman Pore in the cover region and then haring down the pitch to attempt taking two runs. While Ostwal and his batting partner Siddhesh Veer are fixated on the ball in the deep, they ran straight into each other with such force that they both hit the ground in pain. This was the first goof-off in the sequence of events in a short span of time. The throw came in from the fielder in the deep to the wicketkeeper. Then a farcical series of events played out. First, the wicketkeeper, in a moment of brain fade, opted to throw the ball underarm to the bowler at the other end. This, despite the fact that he was standing in front of the batter's stumps and needed just to turn around and whip the bails off. At this point, both batters were still on the floor recovering from the blow, right in the middle of the 22-yard strip. The throw from the keeper was not something the bowler Pore was expecting. So he was not able to collect cleanly, and by the time he had picked up the ball, Siddhesh Veer had slid into the crease with a baseball-slide while his bat was still in the middle of the pitch. Now, Pore was aghast at what he had done, so he did not have the presence of mind to throw the ball back to the keeper. That's when Rahul Tripathi of Kolhapur ran to the bowler's stumps and picked up the ball. But Tripathi noticed that the wicketkeeper by this stage had walked down the pitch, so he was not in position to effect a run out. So the fielder opted to Usain Bolt his way to a run out. But by this point, Ostwal had stirred into action and was on his feet. He too started to run to the striker's end to prevent being run out. Now, came the final act of the sequence: Rahul Tripathi threw the ball with full force while also sprinting full pelt at the stumps. This made him miss all three stumps altogether and the ball speed to the boundary ropes as the Raigad Royals earned four overthrow runs.
