Dropped bat West Indian batsman Evin Lewis was run-out in his side's Twenty20 International (T20I) against Pakistan in Trinidad recently despite his whole body being well past the crease Lewis was trying to make his ground during a quick single when he and Pakistan fielder Shadab Khan collided accidentally, the West Indian dropping his bat short of the crease before leaping to avoid the collision While his bat landed within the crease it was not in Lewis’ hand and he never got any part of his body grounded behind the white line. He was still in the air when the ball broke the stumps, resulting in him being given out by third umpire Gregory Braithwaite on review Whether, in the light of the collision, on-field umpire Joel Wilson asked fielding captain Safraz Ahmed if he wished to withdraw his side’s appeal is not known.
