Varun Chakravarthy delivered a ball after the Umpire signaled a dead ball. Pathum Nissanka smashed it straight into the hands of Axar Patel, but the all-rounder lobs it over the rope for a six. However, the ball was deemed illegal as the umpire canceled the delivery.
The India vs Sri Lanka match saw the Indians smash the first 200+ total in this Asia Cup, with Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma smashing some stunning hits in their respective innings. The match, though, could not affect the results anyway, since they have reached the Asia Cup 2025 finals.
Chasing India's 203-run target, the Lankan batters made a great start to their innings after the early dismissal of opener Kusal Mendis. However, Pathum Nissanka had probably chosen this match to showcase his immense talent in the Super-4 match of the Asia Cup.
In the 10th over of the chase, when Varun Chakravarthy bowled to Pathum Nissanka, the umpire announced the second ball of the over as a dead ball midway through the bowler's run-up. However, Chakrarvarthy delivered the ball, and Nissanka also hit it straight into the hands of Axar Patel.
Axar, however, misjudged the catch and lobbed it over the fence. Just when he looked frustrated, the umpire ruled out the six, claiming that it was a pre-declared dead ball. The umpire called it a dead ball because he was waiting for Abhishek Sharma to leave the field.
