ICC Revises Abhishek Sharma's Score From 50 to 49 After India-Ireland T20I

ICC Revises Abhishek Sharma's Score From 50 to 49 After India-Ireland T20IPreviousNext

Abhishek Sharma's score in the first T20I against Ireland was revised from 50 to 49 after a post-match review under ICC clause 16.8.2 corrected a run initially credited to him. The run was reclassified as a leg bye after the ball struck his thigh pad, not the bat. This adjustment did not affect India's total or the match result, but led to the removal of Sharma's half-century from official records.
