Indian captain Virat Kohli got a lucky escape when Heinrich Klaasen appealed for a successful stumping. When the matter sent upstairs by on-field umpires, the TV umpire Aleem Dar found some part of Kohli’s foot inside the crease.
In the 23rd over of Indian innings, Tabraiz Shamsi bowled a beautiful delivery to Kohli, who outstretched to meet the ball and was beaten by the flight. Klaasen was sure that found Indian skipper out of his crease but a close look ruled his appeal.

This explains why Kohli escaped that stumping. Just kidding. It was the right decision by Aleem Dar. #SAvIND https://t.co/RFdf9qoWDx
