In IPL, where batsmen change the course of the match with fours and sixes, sometimes a small mistake becomes costly. In the hurry to score runs, big players have been run out and returned to the pavilion. In the list of players who have been run out the most in IPL history, the top 3 names are of the legends of Indian cricket.
Gautam Gambhir is at the forefront
The first name in this list is that of Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir, the current head coach of Team India, has played 154 matches in IPL. During his career, he has made a shameful record of being run out 16 times. He had to suffer this loss many times while trying to give a fast start as an opener.
Shikhar Dhawan is also not behind
The name of former Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan is also included in this list. He is equal to Gautam Gambhir in this list. Dhawan played for many teams in IPL for a long time and during this time he too has returned to the pavilion after being run out 16 times. Due to aggressive batting and trying to score fast runs, his wicket has fallen many times.
Dinesh Karthik at number three
The name of finisher Dinesh Karthik comes at the third place in this unwanted list. Karthik has played more than 250 matches in his IPL career and during this he has been run out 15 times. Since he often came to bat in the last overs of the innings, under the pressure of scoring fast runs, many times he had to run out and go back.
New season will start soon
IPL 2026 is going to start soon, where the first match will be played between the players of Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad. In such a situation, fans will once again get to see fast cricket and exciting matches, where small moments like run outs can decide the match.
