IPL 2024 | Twitter reacts to unaware Siraj obstructing the field to nearly run out Shubman Gill
Cricket is a funny game and at the same time, a game of mere margins. A light-hearted incident that almost led to Shubman Gill’s dismissal in the first innings involved Mohammed Siraj non-deliberately blocking him as RCB squared off against GT in the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
During the toss, RCB captain Faf du Plessis backed his side to chase down a total in the day game and it proved worthy at the start when Swapnil Singh outsmarted Wriddhiman Saha in the first over itself. With B Sai Sudharsan and Gill trying to soak up the pressure, a bizarre incident took centerstage with unobservant Siraj almost blocking the Gt skipper’s path to take a run before Virat Kohli missed a direct hit to induce a run-out.
On the fifth delivery of the second over, Gill pushed a full-pitch delivery around the fourth stump towards mid-off and immediately set off for a quick single. As the batter wanted to sneak a run Siraj lost his poise and fell in the centre of the strip, unawarely blocking the Punjab-bred’s trajectory. In the meantime, Kohli grabbed the ball from mid-off and made a shy at the non-striker’s end but just fell short marginally short of inducing a run out against diving Gill.
The Twitterverse closely followed this incident and here’s how they reacted.
That looked scary!
