What would your decision be if you were the umpire? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/tJCtykEDL9 — Sachin Tendulkar (@sachin_rt) July 24, 2019 While many debated over the decision given by the umpire, according to MCC laws of cricket, a batsman is adjudged out when either one or both of the bails fall from the stumps. However, many backed the bowler and empathised with him while trolling the umpire. Not out since the bails were not completely dislodged — krism (@muthyalakris) July 24, 2019 Not out IMO. Right decision from the umpire. Bcoz stump's bails should dislodge completely to get batsman out. — Atul Gautam (@atulsgautam) July 24, 2019 Bails must touch the ground — Harsha (@harshareddy__) July 24, 2019 Bail dislodged and if lights r there it's out.. — Sathkuri ganesh (@SathkuriG) July 24, 2019 Hahaha.nowadays playing cricket has become so difficult — Sanjiban (@SanjibanGhoshal) July 24, 2019
