Lucknow Super Giants' disciplined bowling was marred by a chaotic run-out attempt involving Rishabh Pant. A mix-up between Jadeja and Ferreira saw the latter stranded, but Pant fumbled the ball twice, allowing Ferreira to survive. This costly lapse, despite a strong bowling performance, highlights T20 cricket's unpredictable nature and the impact of missed opportunities.
In a match where Lucknow Super Giants largely controlled proceedings with the ball, a moment of chaos in the field involving Rishabh Pant stood out as a costly lapse. The incident came during Mayank Yadav’s over when Ravindra Jadeja tucked a slower delivery through square leg and called for a quick single. What followed was a complete mix-up.

Nicholas Pooran’s throw, however, was off target, forcing Pant to move towards the ball.
The LSG skipper did manage to dislodge the stumps initially, but in the confusion that followed, he lost control. Pant stumbled while collecting the ball cleanly and fumbled the follow-up attempt, allowing Ferreira just enough time to recover and dive back into his crease. At one point, the batter was nowhere near the crease and not even in the frame, yet Rajasthan survived the scare due to the chaos in the field.
It was a missed opportunity that could have changed the course of the innings. The moment quickly went viral, with fans flooding social media with reactions. One fan summed up the disbelief, writing: “Rishabh Pant 1st dislodged the stumps, the batter was not even in the frame but still they didn't make him run out.
