Twitter reacts to 'epic' confusion after bails get dislodged as if hit-wicket but it turns out as dead-ball
It has been that sort of day for India. When Ishant Sharma was facing Jofra Archer with nine wickets down, it seemed as if he got out hit-wicket and England started celebrating. But replays indicted that Ishant had not dislodged the bails after which it was termed a dead-ball by the umpire.
You can't see me!

Can't belive this!
The bails falling off mysteriously before the ball is bowled with the 11th man Ishant Sharma at the batting crease reminds me of the dialogue from welcome-" even the pyre is calling out for the dead body!" #INDvsENG_2021 #JoeRoot #jimmyanderson Congrats! @englandcricket

This is just what we need to play back and watch it again!
Bails came off automatically when everyone thought Ishant got out hit wicket.
