In the world that sometimes develops T20 cricket, a few moments catch imagination like a delivery that seems to break the laws of the game. June 29, 2025, during a high-day Major League Cricket (MLC) Collision Seattle orkas And Los angeles night riders, Jason holder Produced a delivery in which players, fans and even physics scratched their heads. Holder’s ball hit off stump Shayan JahangirBut in a turn which would be resumed for years, bail refused to fall – a real moment that changed the color of the match and exposed the unpredictable play of cricket.
Shayan Jahangir’s Bells is strong above the stump, which is shocked in MLC 2025 except Jason Holder.
The incident came to light in the 11th over in the chase of a tough 204-Run’s target of orkas in the 11th over. Already growing with pressure Josh brownInitial dismissal, the holder boiled and gave Jahngir a full ball, which tried a risky reverse scoop. The ball brushed the off stump, from which one of the bails raised slightly before going back or falling into his groove – a rare incident, especially with a modern zing vine, which was designed to illuminate the slightest disturbances.
Holder assured that he was with his man, he appealed to be out for being caught, then reviewed the decision of not. Ultraze Technology revealed a spike, but it was scrapping the pitch to the bat, not the ball. Ripley confirmed that the ball actually clipped the stumps, but stubborn bail refused to move. Missed opportunity proved expensive: Jahangir gave a lifeline, went to score a significant 43 off 31 balls, along with 119 runs partnership Aaron Jones (73 off 38) which chased the orkas.
This bizarre episode not only ruined their luck to Knight Riders, but also gave up the match. Even those who monitor experienced cricket were left in mistrust, such as in such moments – where the bail is neither disliked nor light – is very rare in modern sports.
