5. T20 World Cup 2016: No ball swings the game in favor of the Windies

The 2016 World Cup was full of entertainment. With Virat Kohli taking everything on his way down, Team India was the team to beat. They did look unstoppable after their defeat against New Zealand.

After a solid victory over Australia, they faced the eventual champions West Indies. The stage was set at Wankhede with the fans roaring. Because of Kohli’s superb innings, India posted 192. But, things were not secure as unforced errors meant India lost the game.

Just at the start of the innings, Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Chris Gayle in the first over. Later on, Ravi Ashwin dismissed Lendl Simmons for just 18. But, replays showed that the spinner had overstepped. If this was not enough, Hardik Pandya overstepped as well, resulting in another lifeline for Simmons.
