The spectators at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba were witness to a sort of comedy of errors involving Yuzvendra Chahal and Mukesh Kumar during the first T20I encounter between India and West Indies on Thursday.

However, it was too late as Chahal had already entered the pitch and he was deemed to be the legal batter. India were not able to salvage the situation as they slumped to a four-run defeat.
