David Miller given not out due to DRS unavailability during third T20I between South Africa and India

South Africa middle-order batter David Miller was saved by the non-availability of DRS during the ongoing third T20I against India. Apparently, during the ongoing second innings of the game, the technology was unavailable. Apparently, in the eighth over of the innings, Tilak Varma came into the bowl and the commentators announced on air that DRS was temporarily unavailable. In this over, it didn’t even matter.

However, in the next over, after hitting two sixes against Ravindra Jadeja, Miller tried to defend but was beaten. Wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma and Jadeja appealed for the caught behind. To the shock of the fans, the umpire called it not out despite the ball kissing the outside edge of the bat. The DRS was available only after the end of the over. Not just the DRS but skipper Suryakumar Yadav was on the field too.

Meanwhile, talking about the game, the home team, Proteas won the toss and chose to bowl first. After getting hit for 29/0 in two overs, they managed to take two back-to-back when Keshav Maharaj came to bowl the third over. At this stage, the likes of skipper Yadav and Yashasvi Jaiswal put together 113 runs for the third wicket. While the former scored his fourth T20I hundred, Jaiswal hit another fifty.

Thanks to them, the Men In Blue reached 201/7. In reply, the Yellow Brigade had a decent start in the powerplay but lost three wickets for 42 runs. After this, there was no coming back for the home side as they kept losing wickets and were bowled out for 95 runs, losing the game by 106 runs. Birthday boy, Kuldeep Yadav took another five-wicket haul in the shortest format of the game.
