Cricket, a sport known for its intense competition, occasionally provides moments of hilarity that leave fans in stitches. In a recent video shared by former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra, a wicketkeeper’s comical attempt at a run-out has gone viral.

The video captures a wicketkeeper attempting to run out a batter at the non-striker’s end. As the batter attempts to steal a single, the wicketkeeper collects the ball and aims to throw it at the stumps. However, in a moment of misjudgment, the wicketkeeper’s throw goes astray and hits his own team’s bowler.

“There is no single, where are you running? We have been looted by our own, what can strangers do,” quips Aakash Chopra, a renowned commentator, in the video.

The incident highlights the unpredictable nature of cricket and the occasional moments of absurdity that can occur even in the most serious of matches. It serves as a reminder that even in the midst of intense competition, there is always room for a bit of laughter.

Meanwhile, former India opener Aakash Chopra has expressed surprise over the exclusion of leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal from the BCCI’s central contracts. Chopra believes that Chahal’s omission indicates that the selection committee is exploring other options.

“I am a bit surprised that Yuzi Chahal’s name is not there. Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, and Shikhar Dhawan – their names not being there, I can understand. Even Deepak Hooda for that matter. But Chahal’s name not being there – what does that signify? It seems to indicate that they (BCCI) are looking in a different direction,” said Chopra on his YouTube channel.

The BCCI’s decision to exclude Chahal has raised questions about his future in the Indian team. The leg-spinner has been a consistent performer for India in limited-overs cricket, but his recent form has been inconsistent. It remains to be seen whether Chahal will be able to regain his place in the team and prove his worth to the selectors.
