At a crucial moment during the International League (ILT20) 2025 clash between Gulf Giants and desert vipers, Wanindu Hasaranga showed his brilliance by cleaning Olivia Robinson with a misleading error.
Wanindu Hasaranga’s masterful error castles Ollie Robinson
Bowling the fifth ball of his first over, Hasaranga unleashed a masterful error that demonstrated his exceptional skill and tactical acumen. The delivery, flown tantalizingly full and just outside off, prompted Ollie Robinson to attempt a risky reverse sweep. However, Robinson’s premeditated approach proved to be a fatal mistake. Misjudging the sharp inward turn of the ball, he completely missed the connection, exposing his stumps. The ball emphatically smashed into his leg stump in the blink of an eye, leaving the batsman dazed. The dismissal highlighted Robinson’s inability to adapt to quality spin under pressure and underlined Hasaranga’s uncanny ability to read a batsman’s intent and execute his variations with precision. This critical breakthrough further tilted the game in the Vipers’ favor, reducing the Gulf Giants to a precarious 35/4.
