The Indian batter Harleen Deol looked way inside the crease when the ball hit straight to the stumps, but England got the easy wicket due to Deol's subtle negligence. During the first ODI between India Women and England Women at Southampton, Harleen Deol suffered a bizarre run-out with a ball coming from Alice Davidson-Richards at mid-on. Was Harleen Deol really out? The answer is yes. Deol, after hitting the ball, tried to steal a run. She was fast enough and was deep inside the crease. Her bat was an inch ahead of the crease, and her foot was a few centimeters away. When the ball hit her stumps, the bowler even felt that Deol was safe. But the umpire checked. And it was found that, even if the bat was inside the crease, it neither rolled in nor was grounded when the ball hit the stumps. England thus got a free wicket, as Harleen Deol departed, scoring 27 runs off 44 balls. Watch the video here: Direct hit. GONE.
