Watch: Rahane hit the bulls eye to catch Chris Morris short

Watch: Rahane hit the bulls eye to catch Chris Morris short: Some players have a knack of producing magical run outs off direct hits. Ajinkya Rahane is one such brilliant fielder who is known to take stunning catches and produce game changing run outs.

One such run out came against South Africa today proved his accuracy. Mohit Sharma beat Chris Morris for pace and stuck him on the pads with the ball heading towards the slip region. AB de Villiers wanting to get onto the strike charged from the non-strikers end and Morris was caught unaware, still trying to get his balance back and was waiting for the umpire’s call as the Indians appealed for a LBW.

The ever alert Rahane ran from backward point, picked up the ball and knocked out the middle stump at the bowlers end and Morris was run out by a huge margin. One instantly remembered the Johannesburg Test where his brilliant piece of fielding had saved India the blushes. Rahane’s direct hit had found Faf du Plessis short and had stopped Proteas from chasing down a target of 458 on a tricky Wanderers pitch; South Africa came within eight runs of breaking the world record for a chase in Test cricket.
