West Indies Dispute Bye Run Decision Against India
During a cricket match between India and the West Indies, two Indian batters ran after the ball got away from the bowler.
The umpire counted the run as a bye because the ball had not been declared dead.
West Indies captain Shai Hope and teammate Roston Chase disagreed with the decision.
They spoke to the umpires, who kept their decision.
The game continued after the argument.
India scored 223 runs in its 20 overs.
Abhishek Sharma scored 69 runs, and Ishan Kishan made 37.
A disagreement broke out during the third India-West Indies T20I over a bye awarded to India.
Shai Hope and Roston Chase questioned umpires Virender Sharma and Jayaraman Madanagopal.
Prince Yadav missed a cut shot, and Hope returned the ball toward bowler Shamar Joseph.
Joseph did not stop the ball, and the batters ran before the ball was declared dead.
The umpires upheld the bye; India later posted 223 for 20 overs at Holkar Stadium.
