Shakib to Chandimal, no run, defended into the off-side off the front foot
38.1
Shakib to Chandimal, no run. Reviewed! Caught at slip. Chandimal is the man in question. It has hit his front pad before going to the slip but the question is did it brush some part of the bat as well? Shakib was very confident in the appeal. The on-field call is out, remember. But Shakib had made it clear that he was going to refer it if the decision did not go in his favour. Tough call that. Is there enough to overturn the on-field call? Kohli's lbw call in the recently concluded Test in Bangalore could not be overturned due to lack of evidence. So no bat for sure, and it is sliding down as well. Not Out! The decision has been overturned. Coming to the ball, Chandimal pressed forward to defend. The ball brushed his pad and carried to the slip fielder. He was given caught but replays made it clear that the ball did not touch any part of his bat
