IND vs AUS 2017: Pandya Dismissed Twice On One Delivery But Still Adjudged Not Out

The second ODI between India and Australia saw an unusual act when Hardik Pandya was caught and then run-out but was still adjudged not out by the umpires. It happened in the 47th over of the Indian innings, when Pandya hit a waist-high full toss high up only to be caught by Steven Smith at the cover position.

In this unusual circumstance, Pandya walked off the field thinking that he was out. Adding to the chaotic situation was the arrival of early rain which had distracted the umpires. Steve Smith who was aware that the ball was above the waist, caught the ball and yelled at Kane Richardson so that he can throw the ball to him and he can affect the runout.

However, after all the chaos Pandya was adjudged not out by the umpires according to Law 27.7 of the ICC rule book which states:

“An umpire shall intervene if satisfied that a batsman not having been given out, has left his wicket under a misapprehension that he is out. The umpire intervening shall call and signal dead ball to prevent any further action by the fielding side and shall recall the batsman.”

In this situation, the umpires were unsure about the legality of the delivery as they wanted to check the delivery after the catch had been taken and the run out was affected. The ball was judged as no-ball as replays suggested that the ball was above waist height. Umpire believed Pandya was under the impression that he was out and did not bother to complete the run.

Smith, however, tried to present a case for himself as he felt that the ball was not declared ‘dead.’ In the end, law 27.7 turned out to be decisive for the decision.
