Watch: Ishan Kishan Appeals For Stumping vs Matthew Wade, Gets No Ball Instead. Meme Fest Follows
The third T20I between India and Australia saw a high-scoring thriller in Guwahati on Tuesday. After Ruturaj Gaikwad's 57-ball 123 took India to 222/3, it was a Glenn Maxwell show yet again as the Australia star hit 48-ball 104* to take his team to a five-wicket win and keep the series alive. The match went down to the wire as Australia kept losing wickets at regular intervals. However, Glenn Maxwell and Matthew Wade stitched an unbeaten stand to take their team to victory.
There was one occasion when Matthew Wade looked like getting out, or so thought Indian wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan. On the fourth ball of the 19th over by Axar Patel, the spinner bowled wide outside off-stump to Wade. The Australian skipper missed the line of the delivery as Ishan Kishan removed the bails behind him. Kishan felt that there was a genuine stumping chance.
However, replays showed that Kishan's gloves, when he collected the ball, was in front of the stumps. The TV umpire adjudged it no-ball. Australia got a free-hit and Axar Patel was smoked for a six off that ball.
The incident started a meme fest.
