Royal Challengers Bengaluru pacer Yash Dayal effected a run-out off his own bowling to send back Delhi Capitals opener Jake Fraser-McGurk early in an IPOL 2024 clash on Sunday night.
After DC batter Shai Hope drove a full delivery from Dayal, the bowler managed to get his hand on the ball, leading to a deflection that directed the ball onto the stumps at the non-striker’s end. McGurk (21 off 8) was caught off-guard as he was already out of the crease and could only helplessly witness his own dismissal.
