Hilarious! The 30-meter run that turned into a comedy of errors News24 –


There are moments on the cricket field that leave fans utterly stunned — and one such incident occurred during the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2025 match between Dindigul Dragons and Siechem Madurai Panthers. A batsman played a shot that didn’t even cross the 30-yard circle, yet the two batters managed to complete four runs. Witnessing this bizarre moment, the fielding team’s captain, Ravichandran Ashwin, was visibly furious.

A Gully Cricket-Type Error on the Big Stage

During the match against Siechem Madurai Panthers, the Dindigul Dragons players committed a mistake reminiscent of casual gully cricket. The batter played a shot towards cover, where captain Ravichandran Ashwin was fielding. It initially seemed like a single was all they could get, but a series of fielding errors led to a total of four runs being added.

Three Misfields on One Ball

This amusing incident took place in the 19th over of the Madurai Panthers’ innings, with tailender Gurjapneet Singh on strike. He pushed the ball towards extra cover and sprinted for a quick single. Ashwin ran in swiftly and attempted a direct throw, but missed. That’s when the real drama began.

The bowler failed to stop Ashwin’s throw, and the ball trickled away in another direction. A fielder on the leg side picked it up and threw it towards the wicketkeeper, who also failed to collect the ball. The ball then rolled toward another fielder on the off side, who sent it back to the bowler — but the bowler seemed entirely uninterested in catching it.

Batters Run 4 Amid the Chaos

In the midst of this chaotic fielding spectacle, the batters collected four runs through overthrows. Watching this comedy of errors unfold, Dindigul Dragons captain Ashwin held his head in disbelief and looked extremely annoyed. The clip of the incident has since gone viral on social media, leaving fans in splits.

Ashwin’s Team Wins by 9 Wickets

As for the match, the Siechem Madurai Panthers set a target of 150 runs. Dindigul Dragons’ captain Ravichandran Ashwin showed his batting prowess, smashing 49 runs off just 29 balls, which included 6 fours and 3 sixes. However, it was opener Shivam Singh who truly stole the show with a match-winning knock of 86 runs. The Dindigul Dragons chased down the target in just 12.3 overs, losing only one wicket in the process.
