However, the ball hit the bat and got too low for Sanju to catch and stump the batsman right away. In a hurry to hit the wicket with the ball, Sanju Samson wasn’t sure if he hit the wicket with ball in hand or not. Fortunately, being aware of the rules, Samson decided to uproot the stumps and break them with the ball in his hand. Deepak Hooda had already given up on making it back into the crease and decided to just walk away as he got out.
