Ask any batsman in the game of cricket what is the worst way to get out. Some will say run out and some stump. But ask Sai Sudarshan, how does he feel when he gets hit wicket despite being in great form. The Orange Cap holder of IPL 2026 had a strange dismissal in the Qualifier 1 match against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

The ball on which Sai Sudarshan was out hit a four, the timing of the shot was also excellent, yet Sudarshan lost his wicket. In this important match against RCB, he scored 14 runs playing 9 balls.

Unlucky Sai Sudarshan

This incident is of the third over of the innings of Gujarat Titans. Jacob Duffy was bowling, Sudarshan had hit a four on the second ball of the over. The third ball came, which Sudarshan pushed towards point. The ball had reached the four, but in the meantime Sudarshan lost the bat from his hand on the pitch. Sudarshan ran to score runs, but the bat left his hand and hit the stumps. In this way he had to be disappointed after getting hit wicket.
