Missed call in SRH vs LSG match? [Highlights]

[Suraj]

Avesh Khan struck the ball with his bat before it crossed the boundary line—doesn't that count as a violation?

[Kavitha]

Man, this team is on a completely different level.

[Priya]

That was strange. I expected a dot ball and a five‑run penalty.

[Shobha]

I was wondering the same—does it still count as four runs since no one stopped the ball?

[Nitin]

Avesh is the ultimate finisher. Can't he smash the winning boundary for his side? Remember that brilliant finish against RCB? He's a legend for a reason.

[Sangeeta]

He should stay calm in these moments. People love drama, but as a fan I wanted a fight, so I'm let down that SRH didn't protest.

[Aarti]

[Latha]

Ball boys sometimes do that in international cricket. I don't see an issue if the ball was bound to reach the boundary anyway.

[Naresh]

A day without controversy is a wasted day. We always end up chasing these stray incidents.

[Asha]

That should be counted as a four. Often linemen or extra players near the rope stop the ball before it hits the boundary when no fielder is there. According to the rules, it's the umpire's call to award a boundary or call dead ball. Stopping the ball before the rope is quite common.

[Pranav]

The rule is clear: if both umpires agree the ball would have crossed the boundary without interference, it's counted as a boundary. Here, nobody stopped the ball, so the runs should be awarded even if SRH objects.
