All-rounder Glenn Maxwell went back to bower observing an intriguing yet unusual run-out. Notably, Axar Patel targeted the stumps with a direct throw to eliminate Maxwell. However, a bit of controversy peered in between.
The ball had struck the stumps but it looked like wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik’s gloves dislodged the bails before the ball did. Again, after many checks on the big screen, the third umpire ruled it a run-out.

Maxwell had to walk back, looking unhappy and dissatisfied. However, this happened during the eighth over when Yuzvendra Chahal came to bowl. On the fourth ball, Chahal bowled it on the shorted side and Maxwell pulled it. The ball reached a little in front of Patel at the deep backward square leg region. The batters had finished one run but then Maxwell decided to go for the second.
Meanwhile, Patel fired a direct hit at the batter’s end and Maxwell was short of his crease. At first, the umpire went upstairs to check for the runout. At first, it indicated that Karthik’s gloves touched the stumps and one bail went off but after checks indicated that the ball had also struck the stumps while one bail was still intact.
Thus, Maxwell had to leave. Well, after the run-out, fans started tweeting their views about it on social media. Here’s a look at some of them :

Another user tweeted the rules. He said: “About #maxwell’s run out. At least one bail should be on the stumps when the ball hits. Or stumps need to be uprooted completely.
