New Delhi: Apart from the grand farewell of Jhulan Goswami when she hoisted up on her teammate’s shoulder, the day will be remembered for another incredible incident that transpired to make it worth it.
Chasing the targeted score of 170, England was tottering at 119 for 9 wickets. A consistent performance by Charlotte Dean (47) and the last batter Freya Davies made then reached 153, where the game looked in control.
In the 44th over, the off-spinner Deepti Sharma changed the whole scenario of the game. She pulled out from finishing her fourth ball in the same out as she spotted Dean rush out of the crease before she had released the ball.

She calmly took off the bails even though the umpire was signalling a dead ball. India’s skipper Harmanpreet Kaur joined her mid-off and after sometime, it was clear that Indians were staying with their appeal.
The umpires went upstairs to the TV umpires to check out the result.
The voice of the broadcaster could be heard saying, “TV umpire to director: Give the best side-on angle, please.” A replay was enough. “I have made my decision for the big screen,” said the TV umpire. Thus, they flashed ‘OUT’ on the big screen.
Nasser Hussain was on air and said, “It would be debated for a long time but it’s in the law of the games. It states that you can be run out. Remember it’s in the laws of the game.”
