Bat in the air, foot in the air: Harleen Deol run out in unbelievable fashion; India win by 4 wickets
Harleen Deol's run out on Wednesday (Screengrab) Cricket often comes down to the finest of margins, and during India's successful run chase against England on Wednesday, fans witnessed one of the strangest run outs in recent memory. India's No. 3 batter Harleen Deol was well set on 27 when she attempted what seemed like a comfortable single. But in a moment that stunned even the commentators, she was run out in the most bizarre fashion. England's Davidson Richards fired in a throw from the deep that hit the stumps with unbelievable accuracy. Replays showed Harleen's bat had clearly crossed the crease—but it was in the air when the ball struck the stumps. Even her foot, which might have saved her, was airborne at that exact moment. Despite having done everything right in terms of timing, she was given out. The run out left Harleen and Indian supporters in disbelief, and it became one of those rare dismissals that fans will remember for its sheer unluckiness. Despite the bizarre dismissal, India stayed focused and went on to win the match and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. Deepti Sharma's unbeaten 62 and a strong bowling display from Sneh Rana (2/31) and Kranti Goud (2/55) helped India chase down England's target of 259 with four wickets in hand and 10 balls to spare in Southampton. Poll What do you think about the overall performance of the Indian team in this match? Outstanding, they played really well. Average, they could have done better. The strange dismissal of Harleen might have been a talking point, but it didn't stop India from taking the upper hand in the series. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4.

WATCH: Harleen Deol makes blunder while running between the wickets, dismissed in bizarre fashion in 1st IND vs ENG ODI
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. Alice Davidson-Richards' throw gave England a breakthrough out of nowhere as India lost quick wickets in the run-chase. Shortly after her dismissal, Harmanpreet fell too and former India men's head coach Ravi Shastri on commentary pointed out how an elementary error can change the course of the match. Former India captain Anjum Chopra posted on X: 'Unbelievable! No way! Is it that difficult to be comfortable and safe ? Losing an opportunity to score runs in international cricket and win a match … Easily Missed!' Direct hit. GONE. ADR, quick hands 🔥 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 16, 2025 For what it is worth, here's the catch of Harleen from the T20I in Northampton that dismissed Amy Jones.

Harleen Kaur Rekhi reflects on inner peace on World Yoga Day; says ‘Yoga calms you from within, it brings shanti'
On the occasion of World Yoga Day , actress Harleen Kaur Rekhi, known for her powerful portrayal of Mandodari in Shrimad Ramayan and her theatre work in Hamare Ram alongside Ashutosh Rana, opened up about her deep connection to yoga and how it continues to enrich her life on multiple levels. For Harleen, yoga isn't just a fitness routine—it's a way of life. 'Yoga brings a massive change in a person's body at a much deeper level—I genuinely feel that,' she says. She emphasizes that yoga isn't just about flexibility or asanas, but about finding harmony between the body and mind. 'Yoga calms you from within. It gives you a sense of shanti—a deep inner peace,' she explains. 'I'm not saying anything against gym workouts—they tone the body—but yoga touches something deeper.' Harleen practices yoga regularly, making sure not to skip even on hectic days. 'If you're not practicing regularly, you tend to lose the flexibility and the confidence to perform asanas. But even five to ten minutes a day can help maintain balance and routine,' she shares. Among her favorite poses is Vajrasana, which she practices after meals. 'It's great for digestion. Just two to five minutes after eating can really flatten the stomach and improve digestion,' she notes. As an actor, she also highlights the importance of breathing exercises. 'Our job involves a lot of speaking, so I do breathing techniques even when I have a cold. It helps regulate breath and voice. How we breathe directly affects how we communicate.' Even when her schedule gets demanding, Harleen always finds her way back to the mat. 'If I skip yoga for a week, my body feels stiff. That's why I make it a point to stay regular.' In a world filled with chaos, Harleen's journey with yoga is a powerful reminder that a few minutes of mindful practice each day can bring lasting calm, energy, and clarity.

Exclusive - Harleen Kaur Rekhi on her deep bond with her Dad: Every day is Father's Day for me
Actress Harleen Kaur Rekhi, known for her powerful performances in Shrimad Ramayan, and her impressive work in theatre as Sita in Hamare Ram opened up about the special bond she shares with her father in a heartfelt reflection for Father's Day. 'I honestly believe there is not only one day to celebrate your father or your mother,' says Harleen. 'Every day is Father's Day, every day is Mother's Day. But yes, a day that is specified obviously feels a little special.' Speaking fondly, she described her father as a man who may not always show his emotions, but loves unconditionally. 'He has tears in his eyes but doesn't show them to you. He has feelings but sometimes is less expressive because of the masculinity we associate with fathers. But he's also sensitive, chubby, bubbly, and very particular—yet so friendly. We both are number nines, so we gel pretty well.' Harleen also shared how her father continues to be her pillar of strength, emotionally and spiritually. 'He's a proud father and whatever I'm doing today, he's happy and proud of it. He always goes to Gurdwaras and mandirs to do Ardas for me—whether it's a play, a shoot, a new project, or even a voiceover. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo That's something really sweet of him, especially at his age.' She credits her values—groundedness, humility, and politeness—to both her father and mother, calling them her guiding force. 'He comes from the same school of thought as my mother. I want to carry that legacy too.' When asked about the fun side of their relationship, Harleen smiles, recalling family trips. 'He's very chirpy, loves to explore, and is quite adventurous. He's a total foodie and absolutely adores getting his photos clicked. He literally turns into a baby when we travel—and that's the beauty of it.' But above all, Harleen says the biggest lesson from her father is how he communicates. 'He knows how to balance things, how to keep people happy, how to convince with wisdom and purity. Whatever I'm doing today—especially based on my communication skills—the credit goes to him.' 'Truly, he's my biggest blessing,' she says with pride and love.
