In a thrilling match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) taking place at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, a stunning run-out attempt turned the tide in Bengaluru's favor.
Nehal Wadhera, batting for PBKS, was at the non-striker's end when he charged back for two runs. As he was running towards the danger end, he made the call, but Josh Inglis, seemingly unaware or miscommunicating, took a step back, showing his back to Wadhera. This hesitation proved costly.
Meanwhile, Tim David of RCB, positioned at long-on, seized the opportunity. With remarkable agility, he ran left, turned, and threw the ball in one swift motion towards the stumps. Virat Kohli, backing up from cover, added to the pressure, firing the ball on the bounce towards the keeper who in turn dislodged the stumps. This thrilling moment showcased the exceptional fielding skills of RCB's players, particularly Tim David and Virat Kohli.
