WATCH | Yuvraj's "selfishness" leaves Kane Williamson frustrated and run out

no image

Seeing players failing to control their emotions is synonymous with the IPL, but it is normally a certain types of players who fall under this list. But even the usually calm Kane Williamson showed his animated side when Yuvraj Singh refused a double on the final ball of the SRH innings against KKR.

Having already scored 208 before the last ball of the innings, Sunrisers Hyderabad appeared to be in a comfortable position when Nathan Coulter-Nile started his run up for what had been a horrendous innings for his side. The Kiwi bowled a brilliant fuller ball that Yuvraj played masterfully between mid on and midwicket - an area that was scarce of fielders. 

On seeing this, Coulter-Nile raced after the ball knowing that the batsman would attempt to steal a double. Williamson raced for his first run and without looking, assuming Yuvraj would try a double as well, turned for a double. The Kiwi was almost halfway down the track when he realized his teammate was not interested in the run. The Aussie bowler, however, put in a slide and threw the ball to Robin Uthappa, who for once, made no mistake in dislodging the bails.

What was interesting was Williamson's exasperated expression after his run out. The Kiwi went as far as to scream something while throwing his arm in the air in frustration after being dismissed while Yuvraj just hung his head knowing that he had made the wrong call.
