The Indian cricket team is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka. A 3-match T20 series is being played between the two teams. The second match of the series is being played at the Pallekele International Stadium in Pallekele. A strange sight was seen in this match. A big mistake was seen from Team India during Sri Lanka's innings. But it was corrected in time, otherwise the Indian team could have had to suffer the consequences.

Team India narrowly escaped

Actually, Ravi Bishnoi was bowling the 10th over of Sri Lanka's innings and Pathum Nissanka was batting. During this, Ravi Bishnoi got Pathum Nissanka out LBW on the third ball of the over. But no player from Team India appealed and neither did the umpire give him out. Then Ravi Bishnoi looked towards the umpire and tried to appeal and the umpire also gave him out without taking any time.

Let us tell you, in the game of cricket, it is necessary for the bowler or the fielding team to appeal for any wicket. Unless the bowler or the fielding team appeals for the wicket, the umpire does not give the batsman out. The same was seen here as well. Team India did not appeal first, so the umpire also did not give him out. But as soon as the appeal was made, the umpire gave his decision. Although Sri Lanka also took a review against it, but Pathum Nissanka was clearly out.

Such an incident has happened before

A similar incident was seen in a T20 match between Australia and West Indies in February this year. Actually, there was a controversy over a run out during the West Indies innings. Alzari Joseph was run out in the 19th over of the innings. But no appeal was made from Australia's side. Due to which the umpire did not declare him out. Due to the umpire not taking action, Alzari Joseph was considered not out. Something like this could have happened this time too, but Ravi Bishnoi saved the team from a big mistake by appealing at the right time.
