India and Australia are locking horns with each other in the third and last of the three-match ODI series. Both teams are playing this match at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and asked the Aussies to bat first on the turf of RICS.
The row started after Deepti Sharma’s controversial attempt of ‘Mankading’ the English women cricketer Charlotte Dean was not over yet and another controversy started after the run-out of senior Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell in the eighth over of the match.
It all started when Glenn Maxwell was running toward the wicketkeeper’s end, and Axar Patel threw the ball toward the wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik. The bail was still on the stumps and unfortunately, the ball went on to hit the same bail. Finally, the TV umpire declared him run-out.
Although, this decision didn’t go down well with the fans and they started trolling the umpiring standards alongside the Indian cricket board.

One bail was dislodged coz of DK, other bail disloged coz of direct hit with ball. So it's out.
