Cricket can be very difficult at times because it takes much longer for a game to end than any other sport. The bowlers work hard to set up the batters and get rid of them, and it becomes even more difficult in the T20 format as they have limited overs to work with. Nothing upsets a bowler more than half chances that could have turned into wickets. In this article, we will have a look at the bizarre instances when bails didn’t fall off despite the ball hitting the stumps in Indian T20 League.

Jofra Archer was prevented from getting a clean wicket of MS Dhoni in the first leg of the Indian T20 League 2019 match between Chennai and Rajasthan. In the sixth over of the first innings, Chennai was batting when Archer’s 142.7 kph ball failed to remove the bails.
Dhoni attempted to block the ball, but it ultimately passed through his legs and struck the stumps. The lights, though, remained off. The commentators couldn’t believe how a fast ball didn’t take the stumps off.
