It has happened on quite a few occasions in the past that a ball has clipped the stumps but it wasn’t converted into a dismissal and Rajasthan Royals (RR) spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal added one to the list. In the game between Delhi Capitals (DC) and RR, veteran opener, David Warner was deceived by a delivery from Chahal and the ball clipped the stumps but it didn’t dislodge bails.
Delhi Capitals fought to better their chances of making it to the playoffs against Rajasthan Royals. After choosing to bowl first, DC managed to restrict the opposition to 160/6. It was a collective effort from the bowling unit to prevent the opposition from scoring big. It has been a lucky day for the capitals while chasing and David Warner was involved in the luckiest incident.

Yuzvendra Chahal was bowling the 9th over of DC’s chase and he bowled leg-spin delivery in the stumps. The ball spun sharply and Warner was beaten all hands up. He missed the line completely and the ball clipped the stumps. The bails were lifted up slightly and the stump lights were switched on for a moment. Shockingly, the bails didn’t come off completely and Warner survived the possibility of getting out.
