The strangest dismissals in the sport’s history was happened in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) on Friday. Andre Russell was dismissed run-out while trying to take a single during the second match of the ongoing BPL between Minister Group Dhaka and the Khulna Tigers.
In the 15th over of the first innings, a weird was happened. Russsell nudged a slower delivery bowled by Perera towards Short Third Man and scampered through for a single. Mahmudallah on the other end, managed to complete the run with ease despite the fielder managing to hit the stumps at the striker’s end.
A throw from Khulna Tigers fielder, Mahedi Hassan hit the stumps at the non-striker’s end and removed Russell as he was swapping positions with his batting partner Mahmadullah. What’s strange is that the ball deflected off the stumps at the wicket-keeper’s end, where the fielder had intended to throw the ball and then hit the stumps at the non-striker’s end, achieving two direct hits with just one throw.
Despite, Russell’s bizarre dismissal, Dhaka managed to post a formidable total of 183/6 in 20 overs courtesy of crucial knocks from Tamim Iqbal, Mohammad Shahzad and Mahmudullah.
