A shocking incident was seen during this match at Dubai International Cricket Stadium between India and Sri Lanka. In fact, on the fourth ball of the super over, Sri Lankan batsman Dasun Shanaka was called a catch out by Arshdeep Singh.
Meanwhile, Sanju Samson blew up stumps with a brilliant throw. Then the second umpire called Dasun Shanaka as run out. But Dasun Shanaka shocked everyone by taking a review.ICC rule saves Dasun Shanaka
In fact, Dasun Shanaka took this review against the catch out and the ultrarass technology clearly showed that there was no contact between the ball and the bat, due to which the decision of the catch out was overturned. But along with this, Sanju Samson's run out was also not considered as legal. Because umpire Ghazi Sohail had given Dasun Shanaka out before the run out.
Whenever the umpire gives a verdict in the match, after this it is considered a dead ball and neither wickets nor runs are added on the dead ball.This rule of ICC proved to be a boon for Dasun Shanaka. Umpire Ghazi Sohail also explained the rules to the Indian team, saying that the ball is dead once the decision of the out and the review, and that is why Shanaka survived the runout. This incident surprised everyone, because if Arshdeep had not appealed for the catch, Shanaka and his partner would have been trapped in the middle of the pitch, and Sri Lanka's innings could have ended in the super over.
But Sri Lanka did not get any benefit from this because Dasun Shanaka was dismissed on the next ball.
