But Por trapped the ball in the same way that he reached the stumps, remembering the run-out opportunity completely. Before Kolhapur Tuskers Fielders could react, Veer, who was still shaken, came back to his feet and tried to make it at the crease after the fielding accident.
Kolhapur Tuskers captain Rahul Tripathi saw the opportunity and sprayed with the ball to finish the job. But he threw the ball from the close range from the stumps and missed it again. To add salt to tuskers wounds, the ball was disintegrated and ran at the border, with Royals five additional runs.
Rahul Tripathi, blindly disappointed, bowlers came out in Atman Por for their expensive mistake. But by then this opportunity had slipped. Now, the video of this cheerful fielding accident in Maharashtra Premier League 2025 Eliminator is going viral in social media platforms.
