Richa Ghosh Does a MS Dhoni! Royal Challengers Bengaluru Wicketkeeper Pulls Off Sensational Run Out on the Last Ball To Take RCB-W vs UPW-W Clash Into WPL's First Super Over (Watch Video)
The RCB wicketkeeper-batter kept her calm and ran towards the stumps at the striker's end and ran out Sophie Ecclestone. Unfortunately, RCB lost to UP Warriorz in the Super Over.
Richa Ghosh did a MS Dhoni, pulling off a sensational run out on the last ball to dismiss Sophie Ecclestone and take the RCB-W vs UPW-W WPL 2025 clash into a Super Over, the first-ever in the Women's Premier League. And interestingly, it was the same venue that had seen 'Captain Cool' inflict a similar run out during an India vs Bangladesh match at the 2016 T20 World Cup. The crowd at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium witnessed a thrilling clash which eventually saw UP Warriorz beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Super Over. It was all possible due to Sophie Ecclestone, who pulled the game back for UP Warriorz after it seemed the Royal Challengers Bengaluru would win. Sophie Ecclestone smashed two sixes and one four in the last over bowled by Renuka Singh Thakur. However, Kranti Goud, who was on strike for the last ball, failed to make any connection and Sophie Ecclestone, running to the danger end, fell short of her crease.
