On the fourth delivery of the 13th over bowled by Hardik Pandya, Shane Watson hit one on the leg side and completed a single. The throw from mid-wicket at the bowler’s end went deep into the field as no one was backing up and Dhoni decided to run on the overthrow. Ishan Kishan knocked the stumps with a direct hit and Dhoni’s bat was judged to be on the line.
