Unfortunate run out of Hardik Pandya

Today I was watching the test cricket match between India and South Africa. I was watching because Hardik Pandya was batting.

Yesterday he was unbeaten at 11 runs. Today I expected him to play and score runs. But he was run out in an unfortunate situation.

The situation goes like this. Hardik Pandya was busy in running between the wickets. That time , a South African fielder grabbed the ball and threw the ball exactly on the wickets and bails have fallen down.


Hardik Pandya was well inside the crease by that time. But he forgot to touch his bat to the ground. This is the unfortunate situation. South African fielders appealed for run out.


It was clearly visible on tv replay that though Hardik Pandya is well inside the crease , his bat is still in air. According to rules ,he was given out.


But I think he should have been given not out. Because he was busy in running between the wickets and might have forgotten to touch the ground with his bat.

Mistakes happen in a hurry. That is human nature. But Hardik Pandya needed one more chance. Will they do the same with South African batsman?
