Check out this funny incident from the first T20I match between India and West Indies. Yuzvendra Chahal, a well-known Indian cricketer, ended up in a hilarious situation while trying to bat. The Indian team was chasing a target of 150 runs, and they needed 10 runs from 5 balls to win.
Here’s what happened: One of the Indian players, Kuldeep Yadav, got out on the very first ball of the last over. This created a bit of confusion about who should bat next. Yuzvendra Chahal started walking to the batting area, but then the team changed their mind and wanted a newcomer named Mukesh Kumar to bat instead.

As Chahal was halfway onto the field, the team realized their mistake and called him back. They wanted Mukesh Kumar to bat, but there was a problem. The umpires, who make sure the game is played fairly, stepped in and stopped the players from swapping. According to the rules, once Chahal had started walking onto the field, he had to bat next, even though the team wanted someone else.
This funny mix-up left the viewers and fans puzzled. The video of this incident became really popular on social media. In the end, India’s team couldn’t chase the target and lost the game by just four runs.
