The ICC World Test Championship final between India and Australia reached an intense moment on Day 2 as India found themselves in a precarious situation, losing four wickets. However, they received a stroke of luck when Ajinkya Rahane narrowly escaped being dismissed as the fifth wicket. After a confident appeal for LBW by Pat Cummins and his teammates, the on-field umpire raised his finger, signaling Rahane\u2019s dismissal. However, the Indian batsman opted to review the decision using the Decision Review System (DRS).<\/p>\n
As the replay was scrutinized, it became evident that Cummins had overstepped and bowled a no-ball. The delivery in question was a nip-backer that caught Rahane stuck in the crease. The ball made slight contact with the back pad, and it seemed like the impact might have been marginally outside the off-stump. The decision hung in the balance, with the outcome depending on whether the impact was inside or outside off. The side-on angle was partially obstructed by a fielder, but the alternate angle provided a clear view, confirming that Cummins had indeed overstepped.<\/p>\n
The lucky break for Rahane resulted in him surviving the dismissal. If not for Cummins\u2019 no-ball, the umpire\u2019s call on impact would have likely favored the bowler, and Rahane would have been given out. The delivery would have crashed into the stumps, dealing a significant blow to India\u2019s hopes in the match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
