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 next over bowled by Khaleel Ahmed as the visitors lost their second wicket. 

On the first ball of the fourth over, a mix up took place between the batsman when Shai Hope flicked to midwicket without timing and lobbed up. It was the call from Hope and Shimron Hetmyer responded, but Suddenly Hope decided there wasn’t any run there. Hetmyer turned back, and hence, Hope got confused only to start running towards the non-striker’s end.

Kl Rahul was the fielder who collected the ball at mid-wicket and he nearly missed the run-out as he lobbed the throw way over wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik’s head, but Manish Pandey at backward point collected the ball behind Karthik, ran to the stumps and broke them. The umpires had some confusion about who is the batsman out, and they rule that it’s indeed Hope, since Hetmyer made the crease before Hope did.

Here is the video of the dismissal:
