Video: AB de Villiers involved in one of the funniest run-outs of all time

It looks like the South African captain AB de Villiers got a little too eager in the ongoing One Day International match against Zimbabwe, resulting in one of the funniest run-outs of all time. He clipped a ball sliding towards leg off the bowling of Prosper Utseya and started running for a single, thinking that the ball had gone past the wicket-keeper, Richmond Mutumbami.

But to the right-hander’s misery, the ball had fallen right next to Mutumbami after he had failed to collect it properly on the first attempt. By the time De Villiers realised this, it was too late, as the gloveman had picked the ball up, to run the batsman out comfortably.
