‌ILT20 | Twitter laughs as umpires 'remember the name' of Carlos Brathwaite for violating laws by leaving field

After conceding eleven runs in the fifth over against the Knight Riders’ openers, the West Indies all-rounder strolled off the field leading to a befuddling situation on the field. The cameras caught the attention of Gerald Erasmus loitering around the edge of the boundary ropes with the reserve umpire, Shiju Sham, in a confused state of mind hovering around. 

As the Giants had already forced their super-sub halfway through the contest, Sham was seen having an intense conversation with Erasmus whose name was not in the teamsheets. Moments later, the reserve umpire found Giants head coach, Andy Flower walking towards him to discuss the issue. Meanwhile, someone from the backstaff summoned Brathwaite, and the Caribbean cricketer was seen scurrying back onto the field of play. The on-field umpire Rod Tucker was bewildered over the situation and was seen rebuking the 35-year-old for breaching the laws and leaving the field uninformed, thereby resulting in a Twitter frenzy.
