The incident brought back the memories dating back to 16 long years when former India captain Sourav Ganguly survived a timed-out dismissal as he had to rush onto the pitch after the fall of a wicket during a South Africa Test at Cape Town in 2007. The MCC law states that the batter should be ready to receive the next ball within 3 minutes of the dismissal. But according to ICC World Cup 2023 playing conditions, the time limit for the batter is just two minutes.
