Sheldon Jackson dismissed in bizarre fashion: Full list of batsmen out hit-wicket in IPL

Kolkata, May 3: Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) batsman Sheldon Jackson became the first batsman in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 to be dismissed hit-wicket.

The Saurashtra wicketkeeper became the first batsman in KKR's history to get out in most bizarres of fashions.

Jackson was promoted up in the order after Kolkata lost their pinch hitter Sunil Narine for nought in the first over itself against Rising Pune Supergiant. Pune pacer Jaydev Unadkat took a sharp return catch to get rid of Narine for duck off his own ball in the first over itself.

Playing in the league game at Eden Gardens, Pune maintained pressure over Kolkata batters from both the ends and finally young Washington Sundar earned the dividends for his team in his very first over.

It was the final ball of the fourth over when a flat skidder on middle stump from the bowler pushed Jackson to go back.

The right-handed batsman went too far back and stepped on the stumps. He did manage to work the ball towards square leg and set off for a single. But MS Dhoni, behind the stumps, quickly appealed to the square leg umpire.

Jackson walked back for 10 after television replays confirmed he stepped over the stumps.

Jackson, thus, became the seventh batsman in the history of IPL to be dismissed via hit-wicket.
