It was the first ever tie between India and Sri Lanka in the history of One-day Internationals.

But barely had the emotions of a thriller sunk in, everyone's mind went back to a particular incident, or, should we say, slip up, which appears to have had a bearing on the final result of the match.

Gambhir then took a single off the third delivery, followed by a quick double by Dhoni.

India's captain then cut the next ball towards the third-man region for a single and the umpire called 'over' at the end of that particular delivery, the fifth of the over.

Have your say!

The missing delivery went unnoticed. May be, that's because India were cruising at India 135 for 4 and needed another 102 runs from 20.1 overs at that stage.

But, now, looking back, that one ball short has come back to haunt the Indians.

Do you think the result could have been different had six balls been bowled in that Malinga over?

Should the ICC act against the erring officials and ensure such mistakes are avoided in the future?

The umpiring blunder by Englishmen Simon Fry and Nigel Llong came under the scanner soon after the match. Third umpire Bruce Oxemford of Australia also did little to rectify the lapse.

India captain Mahendra Singh made his displeasure clear but also admitted that they can't make a "big fuss" out of the issue.

Have your say!

"It's done and dusted with. We can create a big fuss out of it but what's the point? It's like a controversy standing right on the edge...just about to happen. What's the point as it's a controversy which is right there and we don't really want to get into anything like that...Hopefully, it won't be repeated, not only with us but not even with any other side," Dhoni said after the match.

"As I said, we have seen in the past. We have bowled an over and we almost changed sides but the third umpire interferred and said "Ok you have to bowl one more bowl in this particular over but it did not happen in this game." I don't know why? Nothing can be done right now," he added.
