When two athletic players are batting on the crease a run-out is a pretty rare occurrence, especially while trying to steal a single. One such instance occurred in a game between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as the smash-buckling batter, Glenn Maxwell was run-out after being involved in a mix-up with Virat Kohli in the first innings.

After losing their last three matches in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, Royal Challengers Bangalore had a good start against Chennai Super Kings. CSK opted to bowl first after winning the toss and the opening pair of Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis gave RCB a good start as they scored 57 runs in the powerplay.

Virat Kohli pushed the ball with soft hands and attempted to steal a single along with Glenn Maxwell who was on the other end. However, the decision turned out to be catastrophic.
