Unforgettable - 5 extremely hilarious ways to get run-out

Law 38 of Laws of Cricket states that A batsman is out if at any time while the ball is in play no part of his bat or person is grounded behind the popping crease and his wicket is fairly put down by the opposing side.A run-out requires high standard of athletism from the fielder. But more often than not, it is the batsmans fault. Having successfully played the ball, he decidesto steal a single. That run may sometimes cost the wicket.It may be caused due to bad judgement or due to miscommunication between the players. Nicholas Hogg once said The Run Out is the cricket equivalent of being caught with your pants down. While the batsman are busy picking up their pants, they give us spectators something to laugh about.Let us take a look at the 5 extremely funny run-outs in cricket:

#5 Ben Cutting

Keiron Pollard is one of the best fielders in cricket right now. But even he has to agree this was as lucky as they get.

Pollard fumbled at fielding and poor Ben Cutting had to pay for it. Cricket is a cruel game.

#4 Umar Amin

This certainly has to be the most ridiculous way of getting out.

Umar Amin has completed taking the single, but doesn’t enter the popping crease. The fielder Mahmudullah takes a blind shot at running him out and gets him.

After the incredulousness of the whole thing dies down, you’ll find yourself laughing at the foolishness of the batsman.

#3 Samit Patel

This kind of dismissal could happen to anyone. Many players have slipped while running down the pitch. What makes this run-out funny is Samit Patel sitting like Laughing Buddha.

He doesn’t even bother standing up and try to complete the run!

#2 Amit Mishra

In a high intensity RR vs SRH match, Amit Mishra decided to take a stroll on the pitch. The dismissal could have been avoided if not for Mishra’s naivety. It took James Faulkner and Sanju Samson three attempts, but they were able to bring him down.

But Mishra deserves all the credit for this run-out.

#1 Inzamam-Ul-Haq

Just like it is really difficult picking out Johnty Rhodes’s best catch, it is equally tough to decide which of Inzamam-ul-Haq’s run-outs is the funniest. Be it running himself out, running his partner out, falling while running or obstructing the field, this guy has done it all.

So here is a collection of his 23 funniest run-outs because you simply can’t expect anyone to pick one.
