One component of cricket that can be managed is fielding. Although players cannot control how they bowl or bat, they can always make a play on the field. Some natural athletes stand out but there are not many who work hard. They stand out for their preparation. Let us look at the best run-outs by Indian cricketers.
1. Ravindra Jadeja Of Robin Peterson (2013)
In the 2013 Champions Trophy opener against India, South Africa was cruising in their run-chase. The innings went into overdrive because of the combined efforts of Robin Peterson and AB de Villiers. But in a stroke of pure genius, Jadeja, who was fielding at mid-wicket, halted a hardball, took a time to think, then struck the stumps to dismiss Peterson short. After that runout, South Africa was not able to fully bounce back. India went on to triumph in the match as well as the competition.
2. Mohit Sharma Of AB de Villiers (2015)
When India batted first in the 2015 World Cup league game, they amassed a huge score. With AB de Villiers and Faf Du Plessis at the crease, South Africa had a respectable position in the chase. The cauldron, or MCG, is the location of the game. An easy two is available every time the ball crosses the thirty-yard line. ABD was cruising for a couple of after just hitting a ball to the left of the sweeper cover. Enter Mohit Sharma, who delivered a superb throw from a vast distance. ABD was caught by him before his crease.
3. Yuvraj Singh Of Michael Bevan (2000)
At the 2000 Champions Trophy, Yuvraj Singh made his international debut. He smashed an 80-ball 84 in his batting debut against Australia. His brilliance was noticed by everyone due to his spectacular stroke-making. Singh, though, had not yet finished the game. He executed a superb runout of Michael Bevan to stop Australia's pursuit. At mid-off, Singh quickly executed a direct hit to knock Bevan short. The fact that Australia was expelled was crucial in stopping their charge. India later eliminated the reigning world champions, Australia, from the competition.
4. Mohammad Kaif-Dinesh Karthik Of Paul Collingwood (2004)
India was already behind 2-0 in the three-match ODI series. In the last ODI, they had just managed to score a pitiful 204. In a surprising comeback, their bowlers destroyed the top order. Michael Vaughan and Paul Collingwood were attempting to form a partnership. The spinner attempted to walk down the track as Collingwood sought to shake things up. He had no idea what would happen next. Fielding at forward short leg, Mohammad Kaif swiftly parried the throw to the wicketkeeper. Dinesh Karthik completed the task by playing in his first game. What the fielder and goalie team accomplished was pure magic.
5. Mohammad Kaif Of Nick Knight (2003)
India, batting first, had put a respectable total of 250 on the board. To stop England in its tracks, they first needed motivation. A magnificent moment did not take India very long to arrive. India's largest runout may have been influenced by Mohammad Kaif, who was positioned at short mid-off. Nick Knight started jogging after tapping a ball toward mid-off. Kaif Hared dove for the ball and grabbed the stumps. India quickly spread throughout England.
6. Rohit Sharma Of Justin Kemp
After Dinesh Karthik's outstanding catch to remove Graeme Smith from the game in the same year, Rohit Sharma's attempt to eliminate Justin Kemp in the 2007 World T20 can be considered one of the game-winning moments.
7. Yuvraj Singh Of Mumbai Indians
Yuvraj Singh hasn't lit the IPL stage on fire despite his tremendous hitting skills. That will be one of his few standout performances in the league when he looks back on this run-out to grab a victory over Mumbai Indians while playing for Kings XI Punjab.
8. Ravindra Jadeja, GL Vs. DC, 2017
Jadeja quickly and effectively took out two Delhi batsmen in 2017 while representing the now-defunct Gujarat Lions. The left-handed all-rounder ran out Marlon Samuels in the 10th over of the game, and two overs later, Corey Anderson was also out after being hit by a ball that was fired onto the stumps in Kanpur. Jadeja was fielding at the backward-point area on both occasions, and he reacted quickly to grab the ball and toss it straight at the stumps before the batsman could get to the crease.
9. Suresh Raina Of Robin Uthappa, 2018
You should not chance Suresh Raina's fielding allowing a run. What results from doing so? The player gets run out. Robin Uthappa was sent back after an outstanding exhibition of classic Raina fielding. Throughout the game, Raina used a screamer to oust the hazardous player.
10. Virat Kohli Of Shaun Marsh, 2014
Marsh participated in the longest version of the game while representing Australia, scoring six centuries and ten half-centuries. If Virat Kohli hadn't made a superb throw and run him out while he was on 99 in an India-Australia Test match, he might have ended his career with seven hundred. He attempted to steal a single by pushing a ball from Umesh Yadav to the middle of the pitch. Marsh dove fully extended, but Virat Kohli's throw missed the target and forced him to return to the pavilion at 99.
