This refers to the report, “Out of the world! Windies put India out of WT20 Cup” (April 1). India’s loss to the West Indies in the T20 World Cup semi-final, after a magnificent knock from Virat Kohli, can be widely attributed to the two let-offs for Simmons due to over-stepping.
However, one should also think what would have happened if Kohli had been run out twice in the same over as soon as he came in to bat, despite both chances being very easy pickings. Perhaps this truly was a divine interjection to level the ‘playing field’.
