[WATCH] Harmanpreet Kaur Gets Run-Out In An Unusual Way Again

In a solitary Test clash at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, India and England faced off. Opting to bat first after winning the toss, India dominated the day’s play, with notable performances from Satheesh Shubha, Jemimah Rodrigues, Yastika Bhatia, and Deepti Sharma, all contributing with half-centuries.

The Indian captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, had a promising innings cut short in an unusual manner—her attempt to complete a run ended in a bizarre dismissal when her bat got stuck at the keeper’s end, resulting in a direct-hit throw from Danni Wyatt that left Harmanpreet out of her crease.

This peculiar wicket garnered significant attention on social media as the video of Harmanpreet’s dismissal went viral. Despite facing a similar fate before, Harmanpreet Kaur hopes this time the team can secure a victory. India finished Day 1 in a commanding position, surpassing 400 runs in 89.1 overs. Even after losing a wicket post-reaching this milestone, the steady presence of Yastika Bhatia ensured they concluded the day at 410/7.

The playback revealed Harmanpreet casually advancing towards the crease when her bat became wedged right before the line. Notably, no portion of the bat extended beyond the line when the ball dislodged the stumps, leading to the termination of the 116-run partnership. Unfortunately, skipper Harmanpreet fell just one run short of achieving her first Test fifty, marking a poignant conclusion to her innings.

Lauren Bell stood out as England’s top bowler, concluding the day with figures of 2/64. Contributions from Kate Cross, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Charlie Dean, and Sophie Ecclestone, each securing a wicket, highlighted England’s efforts. As the match progresses, India aims to capitalize on their strong position, while England seeks a turnaround in fortunes.
