After scoring four runs in the first over, Raigad openers Vicky Ostwal and Siddesh Veer looked to settle in. Facing left-arm seamer Atman Pore, who came in as an Impact Player, Ostwal played a neat drive through covers and took off for a quick single.
Veer was knocked to the ground, while Ostwal quickly recovered and tried to reach the non-striker's end. At that moment, Kolhapur Tuskers wicketkeeper Vishant More sent the ball back to the bowler Atman Pore for what looked like an easy run-out chance.
But Pore fumbled the ball just as he approached the stumps, completely missing the run-out opportunity. Before the Kolhapur Tuskers fielders could react, Veer, who was still shaken, got back on his feet and tried to make it to the crease after the fielding mishap.
Rahul Tripathi, visibly frustrated, lashed out at bowler Atman Pore for his costly mistake. But by then, the opportunity had slipped. Now, the video of this hilarious fielding mishap in the Maharashtra Premier League 2025 Eliminator is going viral across social media platforms.

Despite the early mix-up, the Raigad Royals regained their composure and went on to win the Eliminator clash by six wickets against Kolhapur, thanks to a composed chase led by Ostwal and Neeraj Joshi at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune.
Chasing 165, Vicky Ostwal and Siddhesh Veer provided a flying start to the Royals with a 76-run opening stand in just 52 balls. Ostwal smashed 74 off 54 balls, including 11 boundaries and a six. His aggressive innings laid the perfect foundation for Raigad’s successful chase, supported well by Siddhesh (39 off 29 balls) and Neeraj Joshi (37* off 27 balls) against Kolhapur.
