When Ganguly almost became first to be 'timed out' in international cricket

The incident brought back the memories dating back to 16 long years when former India captain Sourav Ganguly survived a timed-out dismissal as he had to rush onto the pitch after the fall of a wicket during a South Africa Test at Cape Town in 2007. The MCC law states that the batter should be ready to receive the next ball within 3 minutes of the dismissal. But according to ICC World Cup 2023 playing conditions, the time limit for the batter is just two minutes.
