Rahul Tripathi missed an easy run out attempt, in Pune.(Instagram) The match also saw a bizzare incident where a misfield saw Kolhapur miss out on an easy run-out attempt. It was a gentle push by the Raigad batter, and then a misfield saw both batters go for a single. On their way back for a double, both batters collided against each other and fell down, in the middle of the pitch. Then the wicketkeeper threw the ball to the bowler for the run out. But the bowler fumbled, and then Rahul Tripathi attempted to make for it, swooping in like an eagle. But then his direct hit at the striker’s end, missed the stumps by a whisker, and the ball raced away to the boundary ropes, going past the empty slip region. The moment left even the commentator utterly confused, and exclaimed, “Listen, there are so many things to dissect in this one!” Here is the full video of the bizarre incident: The first innings saw Kolhapur post 164/7 in 20 overs, as Ankit Bawe smacked a half-century, registering 57 off 50 balls, packed with two sixes and two fours.
