Despite being one of the world’s oldest sports, Cricket has never seized to amaze people with the rarest of occurrences on field. India’s Anuja Patil saw herself amidst one such instance on Sunday when the third umpire adjudged her out for obstructing field after the soft signal went her way.
Bangladesh Women’s side has already carved their own history in the ongoing
On a day when the Indian eves needed luck on their side more than anything, they went off to a horrendous start with Smriti Mandhana, Deepti Sharma and Mithali Raj returning to the pavilion after adding just 28 runs in eight overs. With skipper Harmanpreet Kaur holding steady from one end, she needed a partner at the other end. And given the way Patil lost her wicket, she was given a clear indication that it wasn’t just India’s day.
The incident happened in the ninth over when Kaur was facing Bangladesh’s
The visitors appealed against the soft signal of not out as the ball didn’t hit the wicket. However, the third umpire, after having several replays, came to the decision that the batsman had changed her track after noticing the ball coming towards her. India women were eventually all out for 112.
