Ishan Kishan's stumping of Milind Kumar would stand under new 2026 cricket rules

The USA versus India's T20 World Cup clash at Wankhede Stadium saw a tense but solid performance from India, who won by 29 runs despite a batting total of 161. A debated moment arose when Ishan Kishan attempted to stump Milind Kumar, who had drifted far down the pitch. Although the ball was initially bobbled, Kishan collected it and broke the stumps while Milind was out of the crease. Questions emerged regarding new stumping rules effective from 2026 which require full control of the ball by the wicketkeeper at the moment of dismissal. This explanation clarifies that Kishan maintained control throughout, and the stumping would have been valid even under the updated rules which will rely solely on side-on angles.
