World Cup | 'Not Duckworth-Lewis': Anand Mahindra's suggested alternative to decide the India-New Zealand semifinal is hilarious

As the World Cup 2019 semi final clash between India and New Zealand at Old Trafford has been interrupted by rain, Business tycoon Anand Mahindra said that he can never understand Duckworth Lewis method. In what may be called Mahindra's hilarious touch, he said that there should be something called "Dalwinder-Lalwani-Subramaniam method."

Responding to Cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle's tweet stating that shorter the game gets, stiffer the run-rate India will have to achieve, Anand Mahindra said that the entire thing is crazy. He added that he can never understand Duckworth-Lewis Stern ''stuff,'' and has no intention of getting a Ph.D in it. He then went on to say that something like Dalwinder-Lalwani-Subramaniam method would make sense.

Here's his tweet:

Therefore the match has to restart by 10 PM local time (2:30 AM IST). However, the match Referee can call off the match if he feels there is no chance of play due to wet conditions or no chance of rain to stop.

Overs will start reducing after 4 pm local time (8:30 pm IST). New Zealand will not bat again after 4:15 pm local time (8:45 pm IST). Explaining the above, Bhogle tweeted the following on which Anand Mahindra responded:
