Mumbai opener Ryan Rickelton worked hard to win in Indian spinner Ansari when the batsman was covered with Pat Cummins catch.
But the third referee was quickly involved, and Rickleton was recalled because the replay showed that when the ball hit, Clarson’s gloves were small in front of the stump.
The game rules: “From the moment the ball comes into play, the goalkeeper stays completely behind the wicket at the end of the forward until the ball passed by the bowler hits the forward’s bat or man, or passes the wicket at the end of the forward, or is attempted by the forward.”
Ansari played in his debut IPL season was nothing more than a smile as Rickleton scored his second life and ended up with 31 points.
As Mumbai continued to win with four wickets, he ended up with a 0-35 run. Ansari’s “No Ball” also made a rare hind-foot no ball after Mitchell Starc’s super match between Mitchell Starc and Rajasthan Royals. The Australian bowler’s back foot touched the return crease, causing a third referee to send out the ball.
The law states that the foot must land in the return crease without touching it.
