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.
Collided, but never gave up — still made the crease! ✅Vicky Ostwal. TAKE A BOW 👏 #AdaniMPL2025 #RRvsPBGKT #ThisIsMahaCricket

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.
