Mohammed Azharuddeen pulls off a sensational runout
During the innings of KCA Tuskers, the two batsmen tried their best to complete a quick single. At the time, the cover fielder, Rabin Krishnan threw the ball towards the stumps. However, the throw was way in front of the stumps and would have gone somewhere else. But Mohammed Azharuddeen jumped in, almost cartwheeling to grab the ball from the air.
As he was in the air, he used his left-hand smartly to dislodge the stumps and run out the batsman. He took the ball with both his hands and smartly used his left hand to reach the stumps quickly. It was a perfect exhibition of wicketkeeping genius if there was ever one. The batsman was short of the crease easily and was given out by the umpire.
