TNPL Fiasco: Four Runs Scored Despite a Short Shot

A comical scene played out at the TNPL 2025, captivating cricket fans. In a match between Dindigul Dragons and Siechem Madurai Panthers, a shot that appeared destined for a single turned into a four-run spectacle. This occurred when the ball stayed within the 30-yard radius, yet a series of fielding errors led to a flurry of runs. The Dindigul Dragons captain, Ravichandran Ashwin, was caught on camera looking extremely displeased. The unusual play echoed the spirit of gully cricket, with the mistake happening in the 19th over. Gurjapneet Singh, the tailender, was on strike. Ashwin’s throw missed the mark, and subsequent fumbles by the bowler, the wicketkeeper, and another fielder allowed the batsmen to complete four runs. The video of this comical moment quickly gained traction on social media. Despite the fielding mishaps, the Dindigul Dragons won the match comfortably. Ashwin scored 49 runs in the match, while Shivam Singh’s impressive innings of 86 runs led the team to victory in under 13 overs, losing only one wicket.
