Rajasthan Royals (RR) bowlers Prasidh Krishna and Trent Boult were part of a funny and hurtful moment on the field as they defended 152 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 47th match of the IPL 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium on May 2.
RR batted first after Shreyas Iyer of KKR won the toss and chose to bowl first. With Sanju Samson’s 57, Shimron Hetmyer’s 27*, and Jos Buttler’s 22, RR managed to put up 152/5 in 20 overs on a difficult to bat pitch. For KKR, Tim Southee picked two wickets, while Umesh Yadav, Anukul Roy, and Shivam Mavi took one wicket each.
In reply, Aaron Finch’s rotten luck continued as Kuldeep Sen bowled him for 4 runs.
However, on the first ball of the 3rd over, Trent Boult almost became the victim of collateral damage thanks to his own RR teammate Prasidh Krishna.
Baba Indrajith had pushed the ball to the leg side and took off for a quick single. Trent Boult had cut to the right side on his bowling follow through and found himself in the firing line as Prasidh Krishna picked the ball and threw it towards the batting end.
The ball hit Boult on his boot as he was airborne, trying to avoid the throw and no harm was done as Yuzvendra Chahal checked on Boult, and later Prasidh and he had a good laugh about it.
Here are the videos of the incident:
