‌IND vs ENG | Twitter and English dugout have a laugh as Axar misses lollipop runout amidst calamitous mixup

Despite losing the toss for the third consecutive time in the series, India posted a formidable first innings total of 356 on the back of Shubman Gill’s 112 coupled with Shreyas Iyer’s 78 and Virat Kohli’s 52. Unlike their counterparts, England got off to a breezy start with Ben Duckett peppering the new ball. However, Arshdeep Singh’s change in pace extracted a couple of wickets in the powerplay before Axar spoiled an easy runout chance in the 13th over. 

On the last ball of the 13th over, Hardik Pandya bowled a fuller-length delivery outside the stumps that Banton jabbed towards point and hurried for a single. However, the English pair didn’t lately realised Axar haring at the ball who stopped and made a shy at the striker’s end. Unfortunately, for India, none of the two batters stranded in the middle was dismissed as the the localboy missed out on an easy runout chance by a bare margin. Subsequently, he was devastated and sat crouched near the stumps for a while before the camera focused on the English dugout cracking a laugh at it. Even coach Paul Collingwood, who was a great fielder during his playing days, made an imaginative shy, sparking Twitterverse guffaw.

Lol!
