Arshdeep Singh had dismissed Rahul Tewatia on the fourth ball of the last over of the innings. Vijay Kumar Vaishak standing in the third field took an easy catch. However, this wicket could not be added to Arshdeep’s account. The umpire called it a no ball as it was the third bouncer of the over. Due to this, the batsman got a lease of life and he was also successful in taking one run.
