Ishan Kishan does a Tom Latham after Hardik’s freak dismissal | Cricket News



NEW DELHI: after India Hardik PandyaBizarre sacking of left players and fans stunned in first ODI on Wednesday, wicketkeeper says Ichan Kishan tried to give the Kiwis a taste of their own medicine.
Questions were raised in the way Pandya was distributed by third referee KN Ananthapadmanabhan. The incident happened during Round 40 of the Indian innings when Pandya tried to cut an incoming angled delivery from versatile Kiwi Daryl Mitchell but missed completely.

The bonds fell and Mitchell and his teammates celebrated, thinking he had beaten Hardik. But then Kiwi captain and wicketkeeper Tom Latham asked the referees to examine him because he thought he might have nicked the bails with his gloves.
The third umpire called for multiple replays and even checked UltraEdge to see if the ball had grazed Hardik’s bat. In the split-screen footage shown to him by the television crew, it was clearly visible that the ball did not appear to have grazed the stump at all. And that bails lit up and fell after the ball was picked up by Latham who was standing against the stumps.

Hardik’s teammates weren’t happy with the call either and when Latham entered midfield with New Zealand chasing 350 his habit of keeping his hands behind the wicket, dangerously close to the stumps, was imitated by Indian goalkeeper Ishan Kishan.
The Indians called for a pinfall on the first pitch. Latham took on spinner Kuldeep Yadav as Kishan jokingly pulled bail.
Latham was all in the crease but Kishan continued the call and it didn’t sit well with former India captain Sunil Gavaskar.
“Removing the bonds was fine, but he shouldn’t have appealed,” Gavaskar said on air.
Like Kishan, Latham too was amused by the incident.
