Watch: Comic Error Sees Batter Survive Sure-shot Run Out As Wicketkeeper Forgets To Remove Bails
While cricket is often witness to smart strategies and glorious action, sometimes there are brain fade moments too. It leads to comic situation which is beyond the apprehension of most. The same was visible in a video that has been widely shared on social media. In the video clip, a group of players can be seen in a local cricket match. After miscommunication between the two batters, one of the two falls woefully short of the crease. He is even mocked by the rival wicketkeeper as he gestures to remove the bails. The batter is clearly frustrated as he dejectedly walks towards the crease. The wicketkeeper then starts celebrating, albeit prematurely. As he walks to one of his teammates, the batter who was almost sure to be run out, walks back to the crease and points out that the bails had not been removed. The umpire agrees, a now it's the time of the batter to celebrate.
