After outplaying the Windies in the recently concluded five-match ODI series by 3-1, Team India is currently locking horns with the visitors for the first of the three-match T20I series in Kolkata. After winning the toss, the India skipper, Rohit Sharma decided to bowl first keeping the dew factor in mind and they gave debut caps to Krunal Pandya and Khaleel Ahmed.
However, Rohit’s decision was justified in the third over of the match when the Indian pacer Umesh Yadav dismissed Dinesh Ramdin and reduced the Windies to 16/1. Apart from that, something very unusual happened in the 13th over bowled by Kuldeep Yadav as the Windies batsman Rovman Powell walked back to the pavilion despite the fact that he was not out.
On the third bowl of the 13th over, Kuldeep Yadav bowled a googly on the up and as most of the batsmen in the world, Powell failed to read it. Powell attempted a feeble drive, but he didn’t get to the pitch, had a waft at that and managed the thinnest of edges to Dinesh Karthik. However, after the later replays, it was shown that the bowl didn’t kiss the outside edge of Powell’s bat as the sound came of when his bat brushed his shoes.

Surprisingly, Powell decided to walk back to the pavilion despite the fact that Windies had a DRS in their account, it was a surprising decision from the batsman.
