Marcus Stoinis responded to Ruturaj Gaikwad’s run-out with a hysterical laugh directed at Yashasvi Jaiswal as Gaikwad departed without facing a delivery, expressing disbelief at the mix-up during the match.
In the ongoing India vs. Australia T20 match, an unfortunate mix-up between Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal became a moment of disbelief for Marcus Stoinis. On the fifth ball of the match’s opening over, Jaiswal struck a shot towards the fine leg region, prompting a quick run between the Indian openers. However, confusion arose when both batsmen attempted a non-existent second run. While Jaiswal retreated at the last second, Gaikwad remained stranded mid-pitch.
The unexpected dismissal of Gaikwad, without facing a ball due to the mix-up, led to Stoinis openly laughing, seemingly teasing Jaiswal in front of whom Gaikwad had an unfortunate exit.

Yashasvi Jaiswal later fell victim to Matthew Short’s delivery in the third over while attempting a big shot. His aggressive approach led him to hit the ball straight into Steve Smith’s hands at mid-on.
Earlier, opting to bat first after securing their historic sixth ODI World Cup triumph, Australia posted a total of 208 runs within 20 overs. Despite an early dismissal, the pairing of Inglis (scoring a blazing 110 off 50 balls) and Steve Smith (contributing 52 runs before being run out) fiercely amassed 130 runs off 67 balls. Inglis reached his fifty in 29 balls and completed a century in 47 balls, eventually succumbing to Prasidh Krishna’s pace after an explosive innings that included 11 boundaries and eight sixes.
