New Delhi. Sometimes surprising moments are also seen in cricket. Something similar happened during the third ODI match played between Afghanistan and South Africa on Sunday. Here South Africa had no chance to take a wicket on one ball, then the ball itself touched the batsman's body and went towards the stumps at the non-strike end and the stumps scattered. On this occasion, Rehmat Shah had to return to the pavilion after being run out.
Afghanistan, who won the toss and elected to bat first, lost their first wicket in the 7th over, and in the 9th over, Rahmat Shah (1) was run out by himself. Rahmanullah Gurbaz drove the 5th ball of fast bowler Lungi Gidi back to the bowler. Gidi tried to stop this ball with his right hand for the purpose of fielding, but the ball hit his hand and collided with Rahmat Shah standing at the non-strike end, who had left the crease.
Now the ball hit his shoulder and went straight to the stumps. Rahmat was outside the crease and before touching him, the ball had touched Lungi's hand. In such a situation, he was given a rrunoutand the credit for this run out went to Lungi, but here the direction of the ball was decided by Rahmat's shoulder, that is, he got himself run out and South Africa got this wicket as a gift.
This video is going viral on social media. Talking about the match, Afghanistan's team, which had won the first two ODIs, lost its rhythm in the third and last ODI. Except for Rahmanullah Gurbaz, none of its batsmen could score runs and its entire team collapsed here at 169 runs. South Africa achieved this easy target by 7 wickets and saved itself from a clean sweep in the series.
