Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant on Wednesday dived upside down showing his athleticism in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against Rajasthan Royals at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. In a failed run out attempt, Rishabh Pant out himself on the line and jumped upside down to grab the ball during the run out attempt. The video of his superb fielding skills has gone viral on social media.
The incident occurred when Rajasthan Royal’s were batting and a confusion took place between the batters while running the second run. As the throw came from the deep, Pant had to adjust quickly. He stretched forward to collect the throw in an awkward position, flipping his body upside down as he tried to break the stumps. He almost lost his balance and both his legs were in the air as he reached for the ball.
Chaos in the middle 😬
But all safe for Rajasthan Royals in the end. 😅#TATAIPL 2026 | #LSGvRR | LIVE NOW 👉🏻 https://t.co/PNPfcFt2z9 pic.twitter.com/Z6zNO3LZJ6

Despite his magnificent effort, the run out chance was lost as Pant could not control himself and broke the stump before even collecting the ball. He passed the ball to another fielder who pulled a stump out after collecting the ball. However, the decision was given not out as the batter managed to reach inside the crease safely on time.
