‘Kohli-Gambhir gloves off’: Eoin Morgan on Harshal Patel’s missed run-out opportunity

Former England captain Eoin Morgan had a funny take on Harshal Patel missing an opportunity to run out Ravi Bishnoi at the non-striker’s end during Lucknow Super Giants thrilling last-ball win against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Morgan said if Harhsal would pull it off then there would have been a “Kohli-Gambhir gloves off” after the match.
“Not for one moment, do I think it was a conscious effort. Harshal Patel was running in and must have been in shock to see how far away he (Bishoi was) and missed the run-out,” Morgan said on Jio Cinema.

“But if he had run him out, there would have been a pitch invasion. It would have been Kohli-Gambhir gloves off.”
Needing five off Harshal Patel’s last over, Lucknow lost the wickets of Mark Wood and Jaydev Unadkat and needed one run from the final ball with one wicket left.

Patel missed an opportunity to run out Ravi Bishnoi at the non-striker’s end which could have thrown the game into the super over but had to bowl the final delivery again. The last-wicket pair of Avesh Khan and Bishnoi scampered for a e as wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik couldn’t gather the ball cleanly.
Lucknow tops the leaderboard with six points from four games. Bangalore slipped to No. 7 with one win from three matches.
