Rohit Sharma requests New York police to have go easy on pitch invader

During India’s warm-up game with Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup, a fan breached security and ran on the ground in New York towards Rohit Sharma. The number of pitch invaders have risen alarmingly in the recent past and the New York Police Department were on their toes as they locked down the fan on Saturday. The India skipper, however, was seen asking the personnel to have mercy on the intruder.

Ravindra Jadeja’s controversial non-stumping

Ravindra Jadeja survived being stumped on the first ball against Bangladesh after the camera angles proved inconclusive during the warm-up game. Walking out to bat after the fall of Suryakumar Yadav’s wicket in the 17th over, Jadeja looked to slog Tanvir Islam across the line and missed. Wicketkeeper Litton Das whipped off the bails and appealed for a stumping. No part of Jadeja’s foot was behind the line but the TV umpire ruled him not out with the camera angles not providing enough evidence to rule him out.
