Siraj’s Comic Run-Out: A recent clip from match no. 62 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 has set social media ablaze, showcasing a comical moment featuring Mohammed Siraj’s unconventional running between the wickets. The incident occurred during the game between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, leaving fans in splits.
In the viral video, posted on X (formerly Twitter), the moment of Siraj’s dismissal is captured with precision. It unfolded when Mukesh Kumar’s delivery to Cameron Green resulted in Siraj being run out after completing two runs. However, Siraj, seemingly oblivious to the impending danger, continued running, only to meet his fate while attempting a third run.
Netizens couldn’t contain their laughter witnessing Siraj’s erratic running, which saw him veer farther from the intended path with each stride. Despite this amusing episode, RCB’s batting lineup managed to post a formidable total of 187/9 in their allotted 20 overs. Notable contributions came from Rajat Patidar (52 in 32 balls), Will Jacks (41 in 29 balls), Cameron Green (32 not out in 24 balls), and Virat Kohli (27 in 13 balls).
During the run chase, DC faced early setbacks but found a ray of hope through a partnership between Shai Hope (29 in 23 balls) and Axar Patel (57 in 39 balls). However, RCB’s bowlers maintained their grip on the game, ultimately securing a convincing 47-run victory as DC was bundled out for 140 runs.
With this win, RCB’s IPL 2024 campaign gains significant momentum, propelling them to 12 points in the standings. They now have a chance to reach 14 points when they face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their upcoming match on Saturday, further solidifying their position in the tournament.
