IND vs NZ: Hardik Pandya OUT 1st ODI – Out or Not Out? Not players or umpires were sure after bails came off as Hardik Pandya missed a shot. An umpire referral in the 1st ODI bizarrely gave Indian vice-captain OUT. However, replays showed the ball passed the wicket at least 2-3 centimeters over. However, the third umpire KN Ananthapadmanabhan, unsatisfied by the replays, gave him out. The incident repeated once again but Shubman Gill played a shot this time.

IND vs NZ: WATCH Umpiring BLUNDER in IND NZ 1st ODI, Hardik Pandya BIZARRELY given BOWLED OUT despite replays showing Tom Latham dislodging stumps, Check OUT
What exactly happened?
Hardik Pandya missed a Daryl Mitchell delivery thanks to extra bounce. The ball had apparently hit the stumps as the lights went off. The on-field umpires quickly referred it to the TV umpire.
Replays showed there was no bat involved. Instead, the bails came off as Tom Latham’s gloves touched the bail. The bails falling in front also confirmed that the bails were dislodged from behind and not by the ball. It left Hardik Pandya furious with the incident as he walked off helplessly.
Even Daryl Mitchell was surprised with the decision but NewZealand did not call Hardik Pandya back to continue batting.
Hardik was batting on 28 from 38 deliveries. He added 74 runs off just 67 balls with Shubman gill. However, as the fate would have it, Hardik departed to end the stand.
