IPL 2020 – WATCH: Rashid Khan gets ‘out twice’ in the same ball

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) star Rashid Khan got out twice in the span of a few seconds against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.

Needing 22 runs to win from just seven deliveries, Rashid was desperate to take his side over the finish line. Eventually, he went for the slog and unintentionally knocked the bails off the stumps with his foot.

But it took bowler Shardul Thakur and the other CSK fielders a while to realise this as they were celebrating Deepak Chahar’s catch at long-on. Rashid was adjudged out ‘hit wicket’ when the dismissal should have been ‘caught’.

Section 33.5 (Caught to take precedence) of the IPL match playing conditions read: “If the criteria of clause 33.1 are met and the striker is not out Bowled, then he is out Caught, even though a decision against either batsman for another method of dismissal would be justified.”

@MCCOfficial @ZaltzCricket – Law 33.5 – does caught also take precedence over hit wicket? I’m asking with Rashid Khan’s dismissal today in mind. Was he out hit wicket due to the ball being dead when the catch was taken? If so why does bowled need to be referenced in the Laws?

Rashid Khan should be given Out Caught rather than Hit wicket under the MCC LAWS OF CRICKET 33.5 'catch to take precedence'.@IPL @cricbuzz

The Sunrisers, in the end, failed to chase down 168 and lost the game by 20 runs. It was also their second defeat after the one against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) on October 11 at the same venue.

Kane Williamson scored a gutsy half-century, but his efforts went in vain. Ravindra Jadeja became the ‘Player of the Match’ for his short cameo (25 not out off 10 balls) and picking up Jonny Bairstow’s wicket.
