Super Over Drama: Dasun Shanaka Survives Multiple Dismissal Attempts in India vs. Sri Lanka Clash

In the high-stakes Super Over, Dasun Shanaka faced a dual threat of dismissal. First, he was deemed out caught, and then, a direct hit led to a run-out appeal. Shanaka challenged the initial caught-out decision with a review. The review revealed no bat-ball contact. The umpire, having made an initial decision, declared the ball dead, thus negating the run-out attempt. This rule prevented Shanaka’s dismissal. Despite this reprieve, Shanaka was dismissed on the very next ball.
