R Ashwin stunned, commentators burst out in laughter as Dindigul Dragons end up playing 'dodge ball', missing 3 throws on 1 ball in TNPL 2025

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.

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.

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.
