The last match of the ODI series against Sri Lanka is very important for Team India. The Indian team has to win this match at any cost to end the series on a draw, it is currently trailing 0-1. In this match, Sri Lanka batted first and scored 248 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. A strange incident was seen during Sri Lanka's innings, which surprised the fans as well as the players. This incident happened in the 49th over of the innings.

The umpire changed the decision in the blink of an eye

Kuldeep Yadav bowled the 49th over of Sri Lanka's innings, when Mahish Theekshana and Kamindu Mendis were batting. On the last ball of this over, Kuldeep Yadav managed to deceive Mahish Theekshana with his brilliant delivery. During this, Rishabh Pant did the stumping. After this, the on-field umpire sought the help of the third umpire. But it was seen in the replay that Mahish Theekshana had returned to the crease before the stumping, so the third umpire had to see the signal of not out on the big screen, but by mistake the signal of out was shown on the big screen, after which everyone was surprised. However, this mistake was soon corrected and the signal of not out was shown.

Rishabh Pant made a big mistake

Rishabh Pant got a chance in this match in place of KL Rahul. But poor wicketkeeping was seen from his side. Actually, in this over of Kuldeep Yadav, Mahish Theekshana could have been clearly stumped out, he had gone far ahead of the crease and Pant had a lot of time. But Pant took more time than the time required to stump. Due to which Mahish Theekshana returned to the crease and India could not get this wicket. Due to this poor stumping of Pant, he is now being criticized on social media.

Rishabh Pant sometimes tries to be oversmart.. There was plenty of time for that stumping, and he had the ball in hand, yet he still couldnt pull it off..
Now his cricketing career is running on #Sympathy only..#INDvsSL #INDvSL#RohitSharma |3rd ODI |pic.twitter.com/nHgbh8xYvJ pic.twitter.com/Rg8BINfGoL
