Adelaide Strikers batsman Jake Weatherald, playing in a BBL 2020-21 match against Sydney Thunder bought the tag of getting run-out at both the ends on the same delivery. The hilarious incident took place in the 10th over of the match at the Adelaide Oval.
On Sunday, Jake Weatherald was waiting at the non striker end partnering with Philip Salt, who was facing the bowling of Chris Green. The ball touched bowler’s hand and clicked off the non strikers end wicket. While players were busy in appealing, Salt sneaked the way to run to the other end calling for a single while Weatherald kept his eye on the ball rather than looking at this partner.

Weatherald ran back to the striker’s crease, only to find the wicketkeeper dislodging the bails at that end as well. This hilarious moment got massively viral in social media. Strikers went on to defend their 159 runs and win the match by 6 runs in this tight contest.
