Star Indian wicketkeeper-batter Jitesh Sharma on Thursday survived a massive dismissal chance during his innings, in the second T20I against South Africa in Mullanpur, after the ball hit the bails, which lit up. Still, they didn’t fall, giving him another life.

In the 15th over, a bizarre moment unfolded when Ottneil Baartman sent down a length delivery on off stump. Jitesh, who scored 27 off 17, swung hard but couldn’t connect, setting the stage for a brilliant incident that followed.

The ball brushed the bail and even sent it wobbling, but it somehow did not dislodge, permitting Jitesh to carry on batting. Watch the video here:
