The ongoing season of the Big Bash League (BBL) has seen a lot of action in the past month where a combination of sixes, wickets, catches and run outs have which left the audience amused. On Wednesday, BBL witnessed one of the most comical run outs in the history of the game. In the game between Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Renegades, the pressure of the run-chase reached such a demanding phase where the two batsmen on the pitch ran into each other, resulting in an amusing run-out.
Melbourne gave the target of 141 runs for Sydney courtesy whirlwind innings from Cameron Boyce, who scored 55 runs off 22 balls. But Sydney was not able to get their innings under control as they kept on losing wickets. In the end, Gurinder Sandhu tried to sneak in a single off the bowling of Harry Gurney. During the run, Sandhu was looking at the ball and clashed into his partner Jonathan Cook.
