In another glaring umpiring error in the series, KL Rahul was given out bowled by Ben stokes in the 8th over of India's innings today when Stokes had overstepped by a mile. Curiously, Stokes himself was bowled off a no-ball in the second T20I but was recalled after the umpires checked the replays.

Indian opening batsman KL Rahul had gotten off to a good start in the third and deciding T20I on the ongoing series against England. His enterprising innings, however, was cut short in the 8th over when he completely missed a Ben Stokes delivery and it hit the stumps. For some unexplained reason, however, the umpires chose not to check the validity of the delivery like they do after almost every dismissal these days.  

And as it turns out, checking this one was important, for replays showed that Ben Stokes had clearly overstepped. It was too late, though, and KL Rahul had already been sent back t the pavilion.
