It was the 15th over of the Sri Lankan innings, with Axar Patel bowling to Seekkuge Prasanna when the third delivery of the over seemed to have took a big piece off the bat before finding the gloves of wicket-keeper MS Dhoni, who looked pretty convinced while appealing for a caught behind.

The umpire ruled it not-out and skipper Virat Kohli looked absolutely furious at the call. Replays showed a big deflection but it was a welcome lifeline for Prasanna.

In reply to Lanka's total of 170, Kohli hit a blazing half-century as India completed their rout of Sri Lanka on this tour, winning the one-off Twenty20 by seven wickets.


The visitors remained unbeaten in their nine matches against the hosts as they won the Test and one-day series 3-0 and 5-0 respectively.


Chasing 171 for victory, India rode on a 119-run second-wicket stand between Kohli (82) and Manish Pandey (51 not out) to achieve their target with four balls to spare
