The Reasons Behind Shreyas Iyer Not Being Considered Out Despite the Ball Hitting the Stumps on Day 1

On day one of the first test match between India and Bangladesh, which took place in Chattogram on Wednesday, India’s score was at 278/6. India’s stand-in captain KL Rahul made the decision to bat first after winning the toss and batting first resulted in his team losing three wickets with only 48 runs on the board. Later on, Rishabh Pant (46) and Cheteshwar Pujara (90) were the mainstays of the batting innings till the latter was bowled out by Mehidy Hasan. It was then Shreyas Iyer, who stitched together a 149-run partnership with Pujara and continued to remain undefeated at 82, who guided Team India to a dominant score. Fans on social media were raving about an odd occurrence that went place involving Iyer in addition to Pujara’s stunning knock, which took place earlier. Shreyas Iyer who was batting at 77 at the time, faced a ferocious delivery from the pacer for Bangladesh, Ebadot Hossain, in the 84th over. The Indian hitter was unable to predict the direction of the ball, and it ended up going right to the stumps, where it jarred the bails loose. The light in the stump was turned on, but Iyer was not allowed out.

Shreyas Iyer was fortunate enough to avoid being dismissed during the appeal because Law 29.1 of the MCC Laws of Cricket specifies that a batter can only be dismissed once the bail has been completely removed.

When at least one bail has been entirely removed from the top of the stumps, or when one or more stumps have been removed from the ground, the wicket is deemed to have been broken.

On the first day of the first test match between India and Bangladesh, which took place on Wednesday in Chittagong, Cheteshwar Pujara and Shreyas Iyer led India to a good 278-6 score before the start of the play.

After Team India made the decision to bat first, they only managed to put up 48 runs before losing the wickets of Shubman Gill (20), KL Rahul (22), and Virat Kohli (1).

Later on, Pujara reached 90, while Iyer remained unbeaten on 82, and both were relying heavily on their good fortune. Axar Patel was caught leg-before by off-spinner Mehidy Hasan on the final ball of the day for the score of 14, and he was the second of Mehidy Hasan’s two wickets.

Pujara’s arduous innings, which included 11 fours, was ended when he was bowled by Taijul Islam, the most successful bowler for Bangladesh, who finished with 3-84. After India had lost their fourth wicket on 112, with the first-day track showing hints of spin, Pujara and Iyer were brought together to play for India.

The ICC World Test Championship will include both of the next matches in the series. India is in fourth place after winning six of their 12 matches this season. As a result of their eight losses out of ten matches, Bangladesh are in last place.
