A match between Rajasthan and Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium saw a rare howler when, in the 12th over of the game, not six but seven balls were bowled in the vigilance, or lack of it, of umpire Nigel Llong.

Ben Laughlin bowled three balls to Kane Williamson and another four to Shikhar Dhawan, which was one of the rarest cricketing blunders at the highest level. TV umpire Nandan too didn’t notice the seventh ball, but several online scorecards gave details for seven balls for the 12th over.

“This is a rare mistake. Or else an injury break could also see the umpires losing the count. But these are always corrected," a source told TOI.
