Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) mentor Dwayne Bravo was left stunned after witnessing a bizarre run out involving pacer Vaibhav Arora during the 68th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Kolkata Knight Riders faced off on Sunday, May 25, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The match was the final league-stage fixture for both teams and held no playoff impact, marking it as a dead rubber.
Dwayne Bravo stunned for Vaibhav Arora’s Shocking Wicket
Despite SRH’s explosive total of 278/3, Vaibhav Arora was the standout bowler for KKR. He bowled four overs, conceded 39 runs, and picked up the key wicket of Ishan Kishan in the 19th over. He was the only bowler in the KKR lineup to maintain an economy rate below 10.
However, his performance with the ball was overshadowed by an unusual and careless moment in the second innings.
In the 18th over, with KKR chasing a massive target, Jaydev Unadkat delivered a fullish ball that struck Vaibhav Arora’s pad and rolled toward the off-side. Harshit Rana immediately called for a single and reached the other end quickly.
Arora, however, responded casually. He jogged down the pitch without urgency.
Jaydev Unadkat sprinted forward, collected the ball cleanly, turned, and executed a direct hit at the non-striker’s end.
Replays showed Vaibhav’s right foot had crossed the crease but was still in the air when the stumps were hit. The third umpire declared him out for a golden duck.
Dwayne Bravo was seen visibly reacting from the dugout. Cameras captured him recoiling in disbelief and covering his face with his hands after the moment unfolded.
The dismissal quickly became one of the most talked-about moments of the match and sparked strong reactions across social media platforms.
