A comical incident in the middle of the Harare Sports Club ground as Ishan Kishan missed an easy run-out chance because of his casual approach. The batters on the crease for Zimbabwe also showed their lack of field awareness during the action.
However, at the end of the day, it was Ishan Kishan who missed an easy chance to dismiss a batter for run-out in the India vs Zimbabwe 2nd T20I match in the ongoing three-match series.
Ishan Kishan missed an easy run-out chance.
The fifth delivery of the 15th over of the second innings came to an end dramatically. Tadiwanashe Marumani, the batter who faced the Indian spinner Ravi Bishnoi for the delivery, completed a single while his batting partner, Newman Nyamhuri, charged down the ground for the second.
In the meantime, Newman Nyamhuri was running on the track for another run; Marumani was trying to stop him by waving his hands.
Ishan Kishan picked up the ball when the opposing batters were engaging in a huge mix-up. Ishan underarm-rolled the ball so slowly that it stopped rolling before reaching the palms of Ravi Bishnoi.
Despite the massive misunderstandings, both of the batters were safe after the end of the drama, and Ishan Kishan was standing still on the ground, right hand on head, in disbelief.

India missed the run-out, but not the match
The missed run-out opportunity, however, was not enough to take the momentum away from the Men in Blue. Holding on to the momentum, India won the match with ease, by a big margin of 90 runs. In reply, to India's first innings 219 runs.
Ishan might not have been at his best in fielding, but he did extremely well with his batting. Because of his match-defining batting, India won the match without any notable trouble after losing both of their openers, Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, early in the innings.
Ishan Kishan was the star of the match for the Indian Cricket Team
With the bat, Ishan scored 80 runs from 44 balls, coming in as the number three batter. His 44-ball innings was laced with nine 4s and a couple of 6s, which took his strike rate to 184.09.
Tilak Varma also performed well with the bat, scoring 60 off 29, powered by five 4s and three 6s.
For the second match of the series, the Indian team management handed Yash Thakur his debut cap for the T20I format. In his debut match, Yash did well with his controlled bowling, taking a brace in his 4-over spell for 30 runs only.
With the win, India won the 3-match T20I series, with one more match on the card.
In between all the good news, there is some bad news for the Indian cricket team in the form of Prince Yadav, the in-form pacer, who left the match after bowling 1.2 overs with a hamstring issue.
