Harleen Deol is no stranger to going viral in England – her catch on the boundary rope in July 2021 went to the corners of the internet that cricket, especially the women’s game, had gone before. On Wednesday night, she found herself at the center of a moment that could potentially travel far on the interweb, but as a blooper.

Harleen, during the run-chase of the first ODI between England and India, tapped the ball to mid on and took off for a quick single in the 22nd over. It seemed like a risky single at the start, but if anything, Harmanpreet Kaur at the non-striker’s end appeared to be in danger while running towards the striker’s crease. Harleen had a head start and should have comfortably completed the run. But a direct hit caught the India No 3 short in an embarrassing dismissal at The Rose Bowl. As the replays showed, she was lethargic in grounding her bat the non-striker’s end, and didn’t manage to get her feet over the crease as well.
