The Big Bash League is happening in full flow at the moment. Every now and then, BBL promises some unique and breathtaking content to cricket fans. The other day, it was the stunning catch at the boundary and today, it is a bizarre incident that took place at the crease when the ball could not knock the bails off. In this article, we take a look at the bizarre incident in which Tanveer Sangha gets Russell bowled but the West Indian survives.
Melbourne Stars win the game
Melbourne Stars did not have a great start to their campaign. They lost the first game by a heavy margin, but after the return of the big guns, the Glenn Maxwell-led side has started doing well.
In the 10th game of the BBL against Sydney Thunders, the team had to chase 152. Although the Stars had a disappointing start, the experienced pros Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stonis steadied the ship. After they got out in quick succession, it was left to Andre Russell to complete the job. He did it well, scoring 43 runs from 22 balls, including five sixes. In his knock, though, there was a moment of luck.
Tanveer Sangha gets Russell bowled but the West Indian survives
In the fifteenth over of the game, Andre Russell tried to take on the young spinner, who had taken the wickets of Stoinis and Maxwell. The West Indian could not connect and the ball hit his legs and trickled down to hit the stumps. However, unfortunately, the bails did not come off.
Are you kidding!? Sangha with one of the most unlucky bowls you’ll see!

That said, by then Russell had already done the damage. Hence, even if he had got out, the Stars would have eased to victory. Nevertheless, it was a fine effort by the spinner.
