In one of the most remarkable incidents in cricket history, a bizarre moment unfolded during the Big Cricket League (BCL) 2024, capturing the attention of fans and commentators alike. The match between UP Brij Stars and MP Tigers at the Lalbhai Contractor Stadium in Surat witnessed a miraculous event where the bails remained firmly lodged on the stumps despite being rattled by a delivery. This extraordinary occurrence not only defied the laws of physics but?? also sparked widespread discussion acro?ss social media platforms.

Chirag Gandhi’s unbelievable escape after getting bowled

The drama began when Chirag Gandhi, batting for UP Brij Stars, was just two runs shy of his century. In a pivotal moment during the match, MP Tigers�?bowler Pawan Negi delivered a full ball that struck the stumps as Gandhi attempted to play a shot. To everyone’s astonishment, while the stumps shook violently, the bails did not dislodge. This left players and spectators in a state of disbelief, questioning whether the batter had been dismissed or if luck had intervened.

According to cricketing regulations, a batter is deemed not out if the bails remain intact after the stumps are hit. In this instance, the rules worked in Gandhi’s favour, allowing him to continue his innings. The crowd erupted in cheers and gasps as they processed what had just occurred. Demonstrating remarkable composure, Gandhi capitalized on this fortunate escape and went on to complete his century, scoring 100 runs off just 58 balls.

Gandhi’s persistence century amidst chaos

Despite the miraculous moment that saved his wicket, Gandhi’s century will be remembered as one of the highlights of BCL history. His innings showcased not only skill but also resilience in the face of adversity. However, despite his individual brilliance, the UP Brij Stars struggled to keep pace with their opponents. The middle order faltered significantly, and while Gandhi’s efforts were commendable, they were not enough to secure victory for his team.

Ultimately, the UP Brij Stars fell short in their chase of MP Tigers�?imposing total of 240 runs. The match served as a reminder that even exceptional indiv?idual performances can sometimes be overshadowed by a team’s overall performance.

MP Tigers�?dominant victory over UP Brij Stars

The MP Tigers dominated the match with both bat and ball. Their innings was bolstered by impressive contributions from Saket Sharma and Negi. Sharma scored a blistering 101 runs off 52 balls, while Negi added 87 runs off just 38 deliveries. Their aggressive batting turned the Brij Stars bowlers into mere spectators as they set a challenging?? target.

When it was time for UP Brij Stars to chase down the target, they faced an uphill battle. The opening batters failed to establish a solid foundation, leavi??ng Gandhi to shoulder most of the responsibility. Despite his heroic efforts and miraculous escape from dismissal, he lacked support from his teammates. Ultimately, UP Brij Stars managed only 168 runs, falling short by 71 runs.
