Yuzvendra Chahal bats at number 10
The inaugural T20I match between India and the West Indies was exciting, but the crowd at Trinidad’s Brian Lara Stadium was also treated to a hilarious series of mistakes.
Yuzvendra Chahal entered the batting order at position No. 10 after Romario Shepherd dismissed Kuldeep Yadav, the number 9 hitter.
However, skipper Hardik Pandya and coach Rahul Dravid summoned him back just as he got to the middle.
Chahal was supposed to bat at No. 10, but it was interesting to note that Mukesh Kumar was already prepared and was standing at the boundary lines with his pads and helmet on.
Umran Malik, a replacement player, gave Chahal that order, and he immediately started to rush back to the pavilion. Chahal was asked to bat again by the umpires despite the fact that he had already entered the playing area.
The umpires referred to MCC rule 25.2, which specifies that the first two batters’ innings and any new batter who enters the game after a call of time must do so at the call of play. Any other time, the start of a hitter’s inning is deemed to be when the batter enters the field of play.
The ruling said that because Chahal had already entered the playing field, it was too late to make the switch. In accordance with cricket’s rules, Chahal was regarded as the legitimate batter.

When Chahal stepped up to the crease, India required 10 off five balls. India ultimately fell short by four runs.
