R Ashwin: Captain Ravichandran Ashwin was in disbelief after his team, Dindigul Dragons, missed three run-out chances on a single ball in the TNPL 2025 match against the Siechem Madurai Panthers. It happened on the penultimate ball of the Panthers’ innings on Saturday, June 14.
R Ashwin: New batter Gurjapneet Singh tried for a big shot on the off-side off Ganeshan Periyaswamy’s bowling. The ball went straight to fielder Ravichandran Ashwin, who tried for a direct hit at the non-striker’s end. However, he missed the stumps, and the ball went near the 30-yard circle on the leg-side.
R Ashwin: The batters stole another run as the next fielder tried for a direct hit at the striker’s end and missed again. The next fielder grabbed the ball and tried for a direct hit again, only to miss it again, and the batters stole the third run. There was one more attempt for a run-out. However, the batters did not run after that.
