Giants who were run out in both innings of the test match, an Indian batsman included

New Delhi. In cricket, any batsman can be out in 11 ways, which apart from the traditional methods like bowled, caught and LBW, includes unconventional methods like handled the ball, obstructing the field and time out. Talking about traditional methods, the most unfortunate method for any veteran batsman is to be run out. When a batsman is in strong form and timing the ball well, he/she never wants to get out by making a mistake in running. Sometimes the batsman is forced to return to the pavilion due to a wrong call by the ‘partner’ or his/her shot hitting the bowler’s hand and hitting the wicket.

Many players in Tests have been famous for their excellent ‘judging’ of runs and excellent fitness, some of whom have never been run out in Tests. On the other hand, there are some veteran batsmen who have been run out in both the innings of the Test. Veteran batsmen who were run out in both the innings include Australia’s Allan Border and Mark Taylor, Pakistan’s Zaheer Abbas and India’s Cheteshwar Pujara. Taylor has been run out in both the innings in two tests.

Three Indian batsmen who completed centuries by scoring 6 in all three formats, one did this feat in just three months.

Alan Border: The credit goes to Allan Border for reestablishing the Australian team in world cricket after the retirement of veteran players like Greg Chappell, Lillee, Morsh and Thomson.
