NEW DELHI: A recent clip from match no. 62 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 has taken social media by storm, showcasing
Mohammed Siraj
's hilarious running between the wickets during the game between
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
(RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC).
In the viral video, posted on X (formerly Twitter), the moment of Siraj's dismissal during RCB's batting at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday is captured.
The incident occurred when Mukesh Kumar's delivery to
Cameron Green
resulted in Siraj being run out after completing two runs. Siraj, seemingly unaware of the throw coming back to the bowler, continued running, only to be swiftly run out while attempting a third run.
Netizens couldn't contain their laughter as they watched Siraj's unconventional running, which saw him deviate farther from the running path with each stride.
