3. Rachin got two leases of life Rachin Ravindra got two lives in the first innings. Kuldeep Yadav was bowling the 62nd over of New Zealand’s innings. The second ball of the over hit Rachin’s leg. The Indian team appealed. The umpire gave not out. Captain Rohit took the review. The third umpire gave it an umpire call and Ravindra was saved. At that time Rachin Ravindra was playing on 38 runs facing 68 balls.

He got his second lease of life in the 89th over. The umpire declared Siraj caught out behind the wicket on the first ball of this over. In such a situation, the Kiwi batsman took DRS. In the review, one frame showed the bat and ball colliding together and movement was also seen in the ultra edge. However, in the second frame it was shown that by then the ball had crossed the bat and on this basis the third umpire declared him not out. At that time Rachin was playing after facing 141 balls and scoring 109 runs. He scored 134 runs on 157 balls.
