AB de Villiers left behind a legacy of changing the very parameters of batting and the new generation is quite happy to adapt the unorthodoxy as its own. However, pulling them off with elan is still a thing of chances as Yuzvendra Chahal negated it brilliantly by introducing 'Stomach Before Wicket'.

A batsman’s hand-eye coordination gives him an extraordinary range of batting, but that comes with its own peril too. It needs to be near-perfect because a slight mistake in the face of audacity can lead to cheap dismissals. Colin Munro, one of the finest limited-overs batsmen now, learnt it in a hard way when Chahal outsmarted him with his traditional leg-spin.

Chahal found enough inward turn from off on the very first ball of the 15th over and Munro, who seemed out of place from the very beginning, was on his knees and went for a reverse horizontal bat shot. Given there were enough revs on the ball, Munro failed to comprehend the amount of inward movement as the ball hit his stomach, exactly in front of the stumps.

MS Dhoni was confident that it was a clear dismissal and the umpire at the business end, Nigel Llong too immediately raised his finger to bring an end to Munro’s innings. With that, Yuzvendra Chahal introduced new "Stomach Before Wicket" dismissal in cricket.

Call it, “Tummy Before Wicket”, if you will.
