In the third ODI match between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Ishant Sharma made a controversial dismissal of Matthew Wade. This dismissal made the social media to uproar. In the 39th over, Matthew Wade flicked the ball which went up into the air and taken by Shikhar Dhawan. Matthew Wade also asked the empire that it seemed to be a no-ball. A closer look showed that it was an optical illusion.

Ishant Sharma appeared to overstep the bowling crease while bowling a delivery which resulted in Wade’s dismissal. This incident was misunderstood by the fans and let them, take Twitter about the optical illusion caused by Maxwell’s bat. The bat was parallel to the crease and the camera angle combined with the speed of the action resulted in the creation of an optical illusion.

Ishant was the best among Indian bowlers during yesterday’s match with figures of 2-53 in ten overs.

Twitter Reactions:

No ball wicket. Hey bring back Wade #AUSvIND https://t.co/C2x8k7ULWB
