Nepal League Batter Out For Hitting Ball. Twice.
The Take
Sompal Kami faced a ball in the Nepal Premier League. He hit it. Then he hit it again. Cricket's laws forbid striking the ball twice unless defending the wicket. The umpire raised the finger. Kami walked off. Fans searched the rulebook. The scoreboard displayed a dismissal nobody had seen. Pokhara Avengers collected the wicket.
