Although Digvesh did break the stumps while Jitesh was out of his crease, it was Pant who chose to withdraw the appeal just in time, before the third umpire could confirm the dismissal. Witnessing this act of sportsmanship, Jitesh Sharma walked over and hugged Pant to express his gratitude for the gesture.
