In cricket, of late, it is has become usual sight that bails do not dislodge or come back to its place even after the ball hits the wickets. We have seen it happen at domestic and at the international level as well. This year’s Indian Premier League (IPL) and Cricket World Cup are prime examples of immovable bails. Best Catches in Cricket World Cup 2019: Here's a Look at Stunning Catches Taken During CWC19, Watch Video.

Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar shared one such incident during a cricket match when the ball hit the off-stump of a left-handed batsman and the bail came off its groove but did not fell down. In fact, it remained on top of the stump.

The sight left batsman and fielders bewildered while umpire walked towards the stumps and placed the bail at its original position. Much to the disappointment of the bowler and fielding side, the batsman was adjudged not out. Sachin Tendulkar Becomes Sixth Indian Batsman To Be Inducted into ICC Hall of Fame.

Tendulkar took to Twitter and asked fans for their opinion. “A friend shared this video with me. Found it very unusual! What would your decision be if you were the umpire?” tweeted Tendulkar along with the video of the incident.

Tendulkar received some interesting reactions to his post. One of the users wrote, “the bail has been dislodged so it should have been given out, idk (sic) why umpires didn't give it out.” While another one added, “Bails must be completely dislodged. Not out as per the rules.”

The rule 29.1.1 states that, “the wicket is put down if a bail is completely removed from the top of the stumps, or a stump is struck out of the ground. 29.1.2 The disturbance of a bail, whether temporary or not, shall not constitute its complete removal from the top of the stumps, but if a bail in falling lodges between two of the stumps this shall be regarded as complete removal. 29.2 One bail off If one bail is off, it shall be sufficient for the purpose of putting the wicket down to remove the remaining bail or to strike or pull any of the three stumps out of the ground, in any of the ways stated in 29.1.”
