Sachin Tendulkar seeks answer from fans: The legendary cricketer seemed confused regarding a video doing the rounds since morning.

A video of a domestic match posted by ESPNcricinfo has been doing the rounds across social media platforms since morning. The video sees a left-hand batsman getting bowled off an in-swinging delivery from a right-arm medium-fast bowler.
Probably beaten by the ball coming into him, the southpaw couldn’t do much of it. The catch in the video lied in the right bail’s behaviour after the ball hit it. While the bail gets dislodged from its original position, it doesn’t fall on the ground.
After a split-second in the air, the bail sits on top of the off-stump which makes things convoluted for each one of us. As a result, the umpire ended up ruling the result in the favour of the batsman.
With the bail getting dislodged from its position, the umpire’s decision comes as a source of disappointment for the bowler. The decision has become a topic of debate for cricket fans since morning.

Found it very unusual! What would your decision be if you were the umpire?” read the caption on Tendulkar’s tweet.

Not Out Sir, though harsh on bowler. But rules say so, The disturbance of a bail, whether temporary or not, shall not constitute its complete removal from the top of the stumps, but if a bail in falling lodges between two of the stumps this shall be regarded as complete removal
