5 Indian players who were involved in the most run outs in T20I International cricket

In the fast-paced world of T20 International cricket, where every run counts and split-second decisions can alter the outcome of a game, fielding and run-out opportunities are critical. The runout manner of dismissal is one of the most frustrating ways to get out in cricket. Often, it is the fault of one of the batters, and only rarely is it the fielders' genius. Either the batter who called for the run made an inaccurate decision, the other batter did not hear the call, or there was another cause. 

Indian cricketers are also well-known for being frequently run out in international matches. The most frustrating release is run-outs, which occur when a player makes no mistake in playing the shot and is forced to proceed to the pavilion. There have been numerous well-known run-outs, but some players have received the most of them.

The most recent incidence occurred during India's first T20I against Afghanistan on January 11 in Mohali. Rohit Sharma played a straight shot and went for a run, but his partner, Shubman Gill, was watching the ball and did not react. This culminated in Rohit being run out for a duck on the second ball of the match. In the article, we will be looking for the Indian players who were involved in the most Run-Outs in T20I cricket.
