Every single run matters, as goes the saying in cricket and it wasn’t much different in the second ODI between Australia and India at the Adelaide Oval.
The Men in Blue won the match by 6 🦩wickets with skipper Virat Kohli and former captain MS Dhoni leading the run-chase from the front.
However, a footage has now🌃 surfaced suggesting that Dhoni had failed to complete what looked to be a𓆏 regulation single.
On the final ball of the 45th over, Dhoni pushed the ball to long-on and trotted to the o𝔍ther end. The umpire called the over complete and the match carried on.
It looked to be completely accidental as India veteran great failed to get his bat 𝐆or feet over the crease, turning on his heel just short of the line and heading back to the middle of the pitch to chat to his batting partner.
Umpires were completely unaware of the technically illegal act, which should have resulted in India being d🥃ocked one run.
There was no suggestion that Dhoni failed to make his ground intentionally – which can r꧟esult in five penalty runs bꦬeing taken from the batting side – but it was still a strange moment.
In the end it didn’t make a difference, with Dhoni getting his side home wi𓃲th four balls remaining.
Here’s the video:
Did anyone notice that d𒊎honi actually didn’t complete the run here?
