Editing Hit wicket (section)

===Other strange hit wicket dismissals===
[[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]]'s [[Inzamam-ul-Haq]] was also out "hit wicket" in the 3rd Test against England at Headingley on 6 August 2006, as he attempted to sweep England spinner [[Monty Panesar]] and in doing so lost his balance before falling backwards onto his stumps. He attempted to jump over the stumps, but completely fell on top of them.

One of the more bizarre hit wicket dismissals was of [[Sri Lanka national cricket team]] former captain [[Kumar Sangakkara]] in the finals of the triangular ODI Compaq Cup against India at Colombo on 14 September 2009, as he attempted a shot and in the follow through his bat slipped out of his hands, flew backwards in the air and landed on the stumps.

On 1 December 2017, West Indian player [[Sunil Ambris]] became the first player to be dismissed hit wicket on debut, also getting out for a [[Duck (cricket)|golden duck]].  He proceeded to get out the same way in the very next game, becoming the only player to be out this way twice in consecutive games.
