Kusal Mendis controversially dismissed as photos suggest Shubman Gill touches rope

Sri Lankan batsman Kusal Mendis was controversially given out by the third umpire. During the review, there was limited evidence available, with only two angles shown.

However, new photographs have since emerged showing India’s Shubman Gill potentially touching the boundary rope while completing the catch.

According to the rules, if a fielder touches the rope while in contact with the ball, it should be ruled as a boundary, not a dismissal. (Newswire)
