Things that you didn’t see

The Bangladesh vs. South Africa thriller in the T20 World Cup match had more to it than what was captured on TV screens. While Keshav Maharaj seemed to have escaped scrutiny after bowling three full tosses in the final over, some nuances weren't immediately evident.

Despite the advancements in broadcasting technology, TV cameras can sometimes miss crucial details. Maharaj's pivotal over, defending 10 runs, wasn't just about the full tosses. Earlier in the game, as Aiden Markram handed the ball to Anrich Nortje for the 16th over, Maharaj knew he would be bowling the crucial last over. Viewers didn't see Maharaj's nerves as he anticipated his pivotal role in the match's climax.

Maharaj's strategy to bowl into the pitch and restrict Mahmudullah's scoring opportunities was unseen by viewers. His attempt to take the offside away from Mahmudullah and create pressure wasn't fully captured. Similarly, the drama around the LBW appeal and DRS review added to the tension, but TV coverage didn't delve into the nuances.

Overall, the TV coverage didn't fully capture the intricacies and pivotal moments of the match, leaving viewers unaware of the behind-the-scenes drama that unfolded on the field.
