Not exactly a dark conspiracy theory, but it’s something that actually happened 👀
⭐ During the 2016 T20 World Cup semifinal against the West Indies, there was a lot of dew on the ground and the ball was coming onto the bat beautifully. With 18 needed off 8 balls, Ravindra Jadeja bowled a delivery that Andre Russell launched for a massive six into the third tier.
Apparently, some Indian fans who got hold of the ball hid it and didn’t return it. Instead of asking for that ball back, the umpires called for a replacement and India were given a new, dry ball. It was a deliberate move to favour India and help them win from that position, but Russell had other plans.
He smashed the very next delivery for four and made sure the West Indies weren't losing from there
Hit me with the darkest cricket conspiracy theory you know !!
