India secured a comprehensive 133-run victory over Bangladesh in the third and final T20I at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. The hosts showcased a complete team performance, marked by Sanju Samson’s brilliant century, Suryakumar Yadav’s stylish batting, and a dominant bowling effort. However, one moment that stole the limelight was Hardik Pandya’s humorous escape fr🌃om a run-out, which had fans in splits.
The comedy of errors: Hardik Pandya’s run-out escape
The dramatic incident took place in the 18th over of India’s innings. Facing left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman, Pandya found himself in an unexpected situation. On the third ball of the over, Mustafizur bowled a precise yorker, causing Pandya to get an inside edge onto his pads. The ball rolled towards wicketkeeper Litton Das, while Riyan Parag, standing at the non-striker’s end, decided to dash for a quick single. Pandya, however, 🥀was unaware of Parag’s move as he was hurt by the delivery and was not looking up.
By the time Pandya looked up, he saw Parag standing beside him atಞ the striker’s end, resulting in both batters being at tꦍhe same crease. Bangladesh had a golden opportunity to effect a run-out, but what followed was a comedy of errors.

Missed opportunity: Bangladesh’s fielding blunder
Litton tried to execute an underarm throw towards the bowler’s end, where both Pandya and Parag were frantically trying to return to safety. In a surprising turn, Litton’s throw went over the bowler, completely missing the stumps. Najmul Hossain Shanto, positioned to back up, fumbled while attempting to collect the ball, giving Pandya the chance to dash to the n🎃on-striker’s end safely.
This sequence of events was a glaring example of Bangladesh’s fielding lapse, which allowed Pandya to continue his innin🦄gs.🍎 The missed run-out opportunity ultimately proved costly as India kept piling on the runs, capitalizing on Bangladesh’s errors.
The incident involving Pandya was a significant yet humorous highlight of the match, illustrating a critical lapse in Bangladesh’s fielding. Despite the miscommunication and errors on the field, India maintained their dominance and ended the match with a huge win, sealing the series with a 133-run margin.
