Watch: Ashwin Tries To Review A Clean Bowled Dismissal

Brain fade moments are a part of the cricket field every now and then. Every person part of the sport has had this moment at least once, and this time it was for Ravichandran Ashwin. 

In the ongoing 2nd test match between India and New Zealand, Ajaz Patel has been on fire. On day 1 he took all four Indian wickets that fell and he began day 2 with the same rhythm. He trapped Wriddhiman Saha in front and on the very next ball, Ashwin got clean bowled. 

Ashwin's wicket had everything in it - a perfectly dipped and pitched delivery by Ajaz, an attempted forward defense, a perfect amount of spin, and the ball hitting the top of the off-stump. 

Things went so quickly that Ashwin didn't realise that he got bowled. The ball had hit the top off stump and wicketkeeper Tom Blundell caught it. Ashwin, without seeing what happened behind him, decided to review the dismissal thinking he was given out caught behind. 

After 2-3 seconds, Ashwin was told he got bowled and only then turned back to see his stumps rattled.
