WATCH: Video Of Ishan Kishan's Controversial Attempt To Dismiss Holder Like How Carey Stumped Bairstow Goes Viral

Ishan Kishan, playing his first Test at Roseau vs West Indies, invited big controversy when he tried to ‘smartly’ stump Jason Holder during the second innings of the hosts’ innings on Day 3 of the match. The world is currently divided over the Alex Carey stumping of Jonny Bairstow in the 2nd Ashes Test between England and Australia. The debate of ‘rules’ vs ‘spirit of game’ continues on Cricket Twitter. Ishan could have added one more chapter to it.

Kishan tried to stump Holder by waiting for him to leave the crease, not once but twice during the innings. On both the occasions, the bowler was Ravindra Jadeja. The first attempt was in the 31st over of the innings bowled by  Jadeja. Kishan, in this instance, collected the ball after Jadeja tricked Holder with the bounce. Kishan waited for Holder to lift his foot. He did dislodge bails but Holder had not moved and hence, umpires called it not-out.

In the 33rd over, Kishan did the same. He waited after one of Jadeja’s deliveries beat Holder. This time Holder’s feet went up in air and Kishan, who was waiting for him to do so, dislodged the bails and appealed. Umpires however had called it ‘Over’ by then. By the time umpires say that the over is finished, no such dismissals can be taken up for decision, either on ground or upstairs.
