In a shocking turn of events, it has been revealed that in the solitary t20 match between India and Sri Lanka at R. Premdasa yesterday, it was Sri Lanka, who had won the toss, not the India. But, because of a judgement of error from match referee Andy Pycroft resulted to announced India as the winner of the toss.
Video replays suggest that match referee Andy Pycroft was the man, who made the mistake of awarding India the toss despite Sri Lanka winning it.
Team India’s captain Virat Kohli had called ‘head’ at the toss, as Upul Tharanga flipped the coin. After Coin hit the pitch, Match referee Andy Pycroft said – “Tails – India!”
TV presenter Murali Karthik walked over straight to Virat Kohli, and Kohli decided to bat first.
“I would have liked to bowl first. Bit damp, I would say” Tharanga said after India invited Sri Lanka to bat first.
Eventually, India, who’s strength has been to chase down any score throughout the tour, decided to field first, and won the match comfortably by seven wickets, even as Sri Lanka posted a formidable total of 170.
