Eoin Morgan, the KKR skipper was run-out to a terrible mix-up against Rajasthan Royals in Mumbai on match 19 of IPL 2021. Rajasthan Royals won the toss and opted to field first. This is just the second time in five games that the MMorgan-led side has batted first in the season. Morgan was out without even facing a ball. His wicket was the second run-out dismissal for the side in the game tonight.
Very full delivery from Morris, Tripathi drove this sweetly and Morgan’s bat got in the way of it, deflecting this towards the left of Morris. Tripathi started a run, no idea why, and Morgan wasn’t clear in his communication either. Morris was alert to the situation, got to the ball quickly and raced to the non-striker’s end to whip off the bails.
