Mohsin Khan’s Missed Chance Goes Viral
The incident unfolded on the opening delivery of the 14th over during Rajasthan’s chase. Dhruv Jurel nudged the ball towards short third man as Sooryavanshi sprinted down the pitch searching for a quick single. However, Jurel changed his mind late and sent the youngster back.
At that moment, Sooryavanshi was stranded far outside his crease and appeared almost certain to be dismissed. Mohsin collected the ball from close range with plenty of time to complete a straightforward run-out.
Instead, in a moment that stunned both teammates and fans, the pacer threw the ball at the stumps rather than simply removing the bails by hand. The throw missed completely, allowing Sooryavanshi to survive.
The dramatic error immediately triggered reactions on the field. Spinner Digvesh Rathi looked visibly furious after setting up the chance, while captain Rishabh Pant could only smile in disbelief at what had unfolded.

Sooryavanshi Punishes LSG
Although Mohsin later recovered by dismissing Sooryavanshi in the same over, the damage had already been done. The 15-year-old batter had once again produced a fearless innings, smashing 93 off 38 balls, that pushed Rajasthan close to victory before his dismissal.
Sooryavanshi’s aggressive strokeplay proved decisive as RR chased down the massive target with relative comfort to stay alive in the IPL 2026 Playoff race.
For LSG, however, the defeat summed up a difficult campaign filled with missed opportunities, inconsistent performances and moments they would rather forget.
