Watch: Deepak Chahar ‘Mankads’ Zimbabwe opener Innocent Kaia but let him go with a warning in 3rd ODI

Team India pacer Deepak Chahar ‘Mankaded’ Zimbabwe opener, Innocent Kaia, at the non striker’s end but held back the appeal and let the batter go with just a warning during the third ODI in Harare on Monday (August 22).

Zimbabwe, who came out to chase 290-run target, could have lost the wicket on the very first ball of their innings as Chahar ran in and before delivering the ball he removed the bails with Kaia way out of his crease.

However, Chahar refused to appeal for the wicket and let Kaia go with just a warning, thus forcing the umpire to signal a dead ball. Notably, Chahar removed Kaia for 6 in his second over by trapping him in front of stumps.

It is worth mentioning that the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in March of this year made a number of revisions to the existing rules of play and one of the major amendments was moving the running-out of non-striker from ‘Unfair Play’ to Law 38, which concerns ‘Run Out’.

Talking about the match, Sikandar Raza's lion-hearted effort took Zimbabwe on the cusp of a famous victory before India held their nerves to pull off a 13-run win in the third ODI and complete a series sweep.

The final game of the series too was heading India's way until Raza (115 off 95 balls) brought Zimbabwe back into the contest with the support of Brad Evans (28 off 36).

The duo shared a 104-run stand of 77 balls for the eighth wicket to raise hopes of a memorable result against their mighty opponents. However, Raza fell to a brilliant catch by Shubman Gill in the penultimate over, as India scraped through.

It was Gill who had set up the game for India as he smashed his maiden international hundred to take the visitors to 289 for eight. Zimbabwe's innings ended at 276 in 49.3 overs.

Past masters of Indian badminton: Meena Shah defied norm to clinch dozen national titles before knee injury cut career short

In the history of women’s badminton in India, there have been three outstanding players who have each had the distinction of bagging the national singles title seven times in a row. The first of these was Meena Shah, who made the national crown her own between 1959 and ’65; the second was Madhumita Goswami-Bisht, who won the title in an unbroken reel of seven from 1984 to ’90, and ended up with ten singles crowns; and the third was Aparna Popat, who made it nine in a row between 1997 and 2005. Stroke artist Ami Ghia-Shah, who reached an unbelievable 15 national singles finals among the 36 summit clashes she managed in a 19-year career, has also been anointed national singles queen on seven occasions, but these were not in consecutive years. Ami won four consecutive titles from 1973 to ’76, and then again in 1979, ’80 and ’83. There is one thing that Aparna, Madhumita and Ami had in common – they have all been slim and trim during their reign at the top. Meena Shah, on the other hand
