Explained: Why Jitesh Sharma should have been given out as per laws after Digvesh Rathi's 'mankad' attempt

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) confirmed a top-two spot in the ongoing IPL season after pulling off the Lucknow heist against the Super Giants at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium, chasing down 228 runs in just 18.4 overs, led by stand-in skipper Jitesh Sharma's whirlwind 85* off just 33 balls. Jitesh, who smashed six sixes and eight fours in his innings, didn't ride spotless with as many as three chances going down begging for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), however, he made the full use of them and ended up registering the highest-ever chase for RCB in the IPL.
