The moment of madness happened during Raigad Royals' chase of 203. In just the first over, the team lost their trusted batter Harsh Mogaveera in what is now being hailed as one of the most bizarre run-outs ever witnessed on a cricket field.
Who's that IPL player?
It began innocuously when Siddhesh Veer nudged the ball toward the leg side and set off for a run.
Harsh, at the non-striker's end, responded initially, but both batters soon aborted the run. What followed was pure cricketing chaos.
Poll
Do you believe this run-out is one of the most bizarre in cricket history?
Absolutely
Not really
Maybe, but there are others
The wicketkeeper sprinted after the ball and, from an angle near short fine leg, fired a sharp throw to the striker's end. The ball crashed into the stumps — but the batter had already regained his crease. However, in a freakish twist, the same ball continued its path, ricocheted towards the non-striker's end, and knocked over the stumps, catching Harsh Mogaveera short of his crease.

"Nobody likes this" – Outrage erupts after ESPN's in-game interview leads to Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s throwing error
"Nobody likes this" – Outrage erupts after ESPN's in-game interview leads to Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s throwing error (Image Source: Getty Images) Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the New York Yankees was involved in controversy during ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball after he made a mistake throwing the ball while being interviewed live. Fans of baseball were quick to criticize ESPN for carrying out interviews with players during a game that was not yet finished. Chisholm Jr.'s first reaction was to say 'Dammit!' The moment when Bruce Bochy's throw sailed over Paul Goldschmidt's head and went viral has sparked more talk about how today's baseball broadcasts are done. Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s spinning throw attempt goes awry during live ESPN broadcast The excitement happened when Boston Red Sox outfielder Ceddanne Rafaela hit a ground ball toward Jazz Chisholm Jr., who was at that moment answering questions from fans for ESPN. After getting to the grounder, Chisholm Jr. tried a spinning throw to first, but it missed its target, letting Rafaela move to second. The overwhelming response from baseball fans has been negative, with many viewing the format as a distraction that takes away from the game itself. One frustrated fan summed up the sentiment perfectly: "it's bad enough talking to players in the dugout. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Experience next-level CPAP comfort with Resmed AirSense 11 ResMed Buy Now Undo let 'em play ball without having to answer inane questions from the announcing crew." The criticism wasn't limited to casual observers either. Another fan pointed out the lack of demand for such coverage: "Still have yet to find any person out there who actually wants this during an MLB game." ESPN's broadcast strategy under fire The incident has also reignited broader criticisms of ESPN's current approach to sports broadcasting. Many fans are calling for a return to the network's golden era, with one user posting: "This is why ESPN sucks. Bring back the ESPN of the 90s/2000s." Perhaps most telling is that the incident has united even New York Yankees fans against the format. The National Beachball League account noted this shift: "The anti-ingame interview team now has all of Yankee Nation on board. Game over, #ESPN!" The bigger picture The incident highlights the ongoing tension between traditional baseball broadcasting and ESPN's attempts to modernise the viewing experience. While the network likely sees in-game interviews as a way to provide unique access and keep viewers engaged, the fan reaction suggests this approach may be backfiring. The unanimous nature of the criticism from fans across team loyalties indicates that ESPN may need to reconsider its strategy for Sunday Night Baseball coverage. As one fan succinctly put it in response to the clip: "Thanks, ESPN!!!!"

Watch: Indian Wicket-Keeper Rattles The Stumps On Both Ends With One Throw, Makes Stunning Run Out
Wicket-keeper Suraj Shinde made a remarkable run-out during MPL 2025 tournament. Shinde's throw dislodged bails at the striker's end, but ricocheted to hit the non-striker's stumps. Harsh Mogaveera was run out while attempting a quick single after the throw. A spectacularly unique piece of fielding took place in the ongoing Maharashtra Premier League (MPL) 2025 tournament. Wicket-keeper Suraj Shinde was at the heart of the sensational run out, playing for Puneri Bappa against Raigad Royals. Shinde's throw had initially dislodged the bails at the striker's end, but the batter was already home. But in an incredible twist, the ball ricocheted off the stumps at one end and went on to hit the stumps at the non-striker's end. This meant that the non-striker, who was outside his crease, was run out! The incident happened in the very first over of the second innings of the match, with Raigad Royals having been set a target of 203 by Puneri Bappa. On the fifth ball of the over, striker Siddhesh Veer had nudged the ball towards the on-side, and tried to sneak a quick single. However, wicket-keeper Suraj Shinde made a quick throw from behind the stumps after collecting the ball. Fortunately for Veer, he was back to his crease on time. However, misfortune struck his opening partner Harsh Mogaveera, who got run out as the ball smashed onto the stumps at the non-striker's end. Watch: Bizarre run-out occurs as wicket-keeper dislodges stumps on both ends — Media (@lncognltooo) June 8, 2025 It resulted in Shinde looking like a hero, having inflicted one of the most unique run out moments you can find in cricket. Shinde had previously smashed 40 runs off just 12 balls in that match, and the run out capped off a superb evening for him, as Puneri Bappa ended up winning by 99 runs. A similar run out, however, has occurred before.

WTC Final: 'Everybody walked away' - Stuart Broad's surprise role in South Africa's game plan
Image credit: ICC NEW DELHI: South Africa head coach Shukri Conrad revealed that his team spent an "enlightening" evening with England pace legend Stuart Broad ahead of their World Test Championship final against Australia at Lord's. Broad, who retired from international cricket two years ago, finished with 604 wickets in 167 Tests, many of them against the Aussies. The 38-year-old joined the South African team for dinner on Sunday to share insights ahead of their title clash against the defending champions starting Wednesday. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "It was just a casual chat but if the guys hadn't called time at 10:30 pm (2130 GMT) we'd still be there chatting," Conrad said at a media interaction at Lord's on Monday. "Everybody walked away thinking that was great." Conrad also spoke about former South Africa captain Graeme Smith 's visit to Sunday's training session. "He's a legend in South African cricket, the most successful Test captain we have had," he said. "He's not going to impose himself but if anyone wants to have a chat he's there for that." He clarified that these meetings were informal rather than structured advisory roles. "It's just using whatever we can," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Men Over 50: Frequent Urination & Weak Stream?

Responding to critics who suggested South Africa had a soft path to the final by avoiding Australia and England during the WTC cycle, Conrad was firm in his response. "I'm tired of speaking about it. We're here and we've got a chance to walk away as world Test champions," he said. "Playing Australia, it doesn't get any bigger than that. What's gone before counts for absolutely nothing at the minute. We're quietly confident going into this game that we can pull one over them. "We still hold Test cricket very dearly. Our fixture list might not speak to that, but this is the biggest final all of our players have ever been involved in and their biggest match." Heading into the final, South Africa's relatively inexperienced batting line-up has come under scrutiny. Bombay Sport Exchange Ep. 6: Harish Thawani on cricket's TV market and the watershed moments "The inexperience is very apparent in terms of the number of Tests played and their place in the ICC rankings," Conrad admitted. "So, I think it's pretty normal that the chat is all about the bowlers when you've got guys like Kagiso Rabada , ranked two in the world, and Marco (Jansen) and (spinner) Keshav (Maharaj)." "But I think there's a quiet confidence among the batting group. They got a lot of confidence, with hundreds for different players at different stages. So yeah, while there might not be superstar names among them, I think as a collective we're pretty confident."
