It doesn’t happen often on a cricket field that a batter walks back to the pavilion without even edging the ball as the umpire has called him ‘out’. Delhi Capitals (DC) batter, Mitchell Marsh added to the count against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) as he was seen walking back to the pavilion even without edging the ball against Krishnappa Gowtham as he was given out.

LSG managed to post a huge score of 195/3. Chasing the target, DC lost both their openers on a total of 13. Mitchell Marsh and Rishabh Pant steadied the innings as both of them were looking in fine touch but an umpiring error broke their partnership as they took DC to a score of 66/2 in the powerplay itself. 

Krishnappa Gowtham was bowling the eighth over of the innings. He bowled the first ball of the over wide outside off to Marsh and he tried to slash it. The wicketkeeper appealed for an edge and the umpire gave the batter out.

However, Krishnappa Gowtham’s reaction after the dismissal was surprising as he had no idea whether the batter had edged the ball or not. TV replays later confirmed that Marsh hadn’t nicked the delivery but surprisingly walked back to the pavilion without going for a DRS. Twitter took note of the incident and the fans reacted to it on the social media platform.
