Trent Boult drops his bat, hops around & gets run-out in hilarious manner in MLC 2025 match [Watch]

MI New York pacer Trent Boult was run out in bizarre fashion during their Major League Cricket (MLC 2025) opener against Texas Super Kings at Oakland Coliseum, California, on Friday, June 13. The dismissal took place in the 19th over of the New York-based side's failed run chase.

On the third ball of the over, Tajinder Dhillon guided a length delivery from Adam Milne towards the third-man region. The two batters completed a single and looked to sneak in a second run.

However, upon reaching the striker's end, Boult dropped his bat. He hopped around a couple of times near the crease and was ultimately run out. Here's a video of the Blackcaps star hilariously losing his wicket:

Texas Super Kings kicked off their MLC 2025 campaign with a thrilling three-run win over MI New York. The Nicholas Pooran-led New York finished at 182/8 in 20 overs while chasing the 186-run target.
