Nitish Rana was given Lbw as he missed the reverse sweep on a full toss. Sounded like bat. Rana call for review right away. It’s at a middle stump line, but yes, it has come off the inside edge.
The ball misses out, as Rana tries the switch hit, and that’s struck his pad on the full, but it’s taken the under-edge. And it make a big spike on Ultra Edge, and that decision has to be reversed by the Umpire.
And this life-saving review help Rana to hit his first 50s in this season of IPL. He completed his Fifty with a six. He just dropped short at leg stump, lines it up, swivels and nails this pull shot in deep backward square’s direction and hit a beautiful Six. Rana raises his bat, and looks down into the wicket, smiling. It’s been a terrific innings for Rana – the opener. He made 50 in just 37 balls.
