Why did the umpire not signal it for a hit wicket even after the bails fell because of the bat?
Why did the umpire say it was not out?
"While the ball is in play" is the must-read part of the rule. The third umpire did not nod for a hit wicket in the West Indies vs New Zealand ODI, as the ball was already out of play.
Keacy Carty's bat hit the stumps after the ball cleared the ropes. After the match, at the presentation ceremony, neither of the captains of the teams nor the batter himself, who was named the Player of the Match, mentioned the instance, as it might have looked controversial to some of the cricket fans who watched the match on screen, but not to the players who were on the ground at that moment.
