Mohammed Siraj’s Hilarious Running Between Wickets Goes Viral
In a moment that has become the talk of social media, Mohammed Siraj’s unconventional running between the wickets during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC) has left fans in stitches.
The incident occurred during RCB’s batting innings at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. After Cameron Green hit a delivery from Mukesh Kumar for two runs, Siraj, seemingly unaware of the throw coming back to the bowler, continued running. However, he was swiftly run out while attempting a third run.
The video of Siraj’s comical running, which saw him deviate farther from the running path with each stride, has gone viral on social media. Netizens have been sharing the clip with captions such as “Siraj’s running is a mood” and “Only Siraj could make running between the wickets look like a comedy routine.”
Despite the humorous moment, RCB went on to secure a comfortable 47-run victory over DC. Rajat Patidar (52), Will Jacks (41), Cameron Green (32 not out), and Virat Kohli (27) were the key contributors to RCB’s total of 187/9.
In the run chase, DC faced early setbacks but managed to stage a brief comeback, courtesy of a partnership between Shai Hope (29) and Axar Patel (57). However, RCB’s bowlers maintained control over the game, ultimately bundling out DC for 140 runs.
With this win, RCB has strengthened its position in the IPL 2024 standings, moving up to 12 points. The team will next face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Saturday, looking to extend its winning streak and solidify its chances of reaching the playoffs.
