MLC 2025: Jason Holder Hits Stumps But Shayan Jahangir Gets Lucky As Bails Stays Put During LAKR Vs SO Match; Video

A strange moment happened during a Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 match between the Seattle Orcas(SO) and the Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAKR). LAKR's Jason Holder bowled a delivery that hit the stumps hard, but the batter Shayan Jahangir was not out.

This happened on the first ball of the 12th over. Holder’s ball hit the off-stump directly, but the bail didn’t fall off, which meant Jahangir was not out, even though the stump was clearly hit. The players and commentators were shocked, as this is a very rare event in cricket.

Jahangir made the most of his lucky escape. He went on to score 43 runs from 31 balls and built a strong 119-run partnership with Aaron Jones. Their efforts helped Seattle Orcas successfully chase a big target of 204 runs.

Even though Holder bowled a great delivery, it turned out to be a lucky day for Jahangir. This moment reminded fans that sometimes, strange things can happen in cricket and luck can play a big role.

MLC 2025: Michael Bracewell Tries To Take DRS After Getting Bowled During MINY Vs SFU Match; Video

New Zealand cricketer Michael Bracewell gave fans a hilarious moment during a Major League Cricket 2025 match between MI New York and San Francisco Unicorns. Playing for MI New York, Bracewell was clean bowled by Romario Shepherd. But instead of walking off, Bracewell strangely signaled for a DRS (Decision Review System), as if he thought he had been given out LBW.

The umpire had already confirmed it was a bowled dismissal, and even players from the San Francisco Unicorns pointed toward the shattered stumps to remind Bracewell of what had happened.

Realizing his mistake, Bracewell smiled awkwardly and made his way back to the pavilion. The moment, caught on camera, quickly went viral on social media and was widely shared by fans and commentators, who called it a “brain fade”: a term used in cricket when a player loses awareness of the situation.

Bracewell, known as a skilled all-rounder for New Zealand, has delivered strong performances in the past. But this light-hearted error reminded everyone that even experienced players can have a moment of confusion.

Though Bracewell didn’t score any runs in that match, he certainly delivered one of the funniest highlights of the tournament by giving cricket fans a moment they won’t forget anytime soon.
