Marsh was not out but still got out

K. Gautam, playing in place of Avesh Khan, took the wicket of Mitchell Marsh in his name. However, Marsh was not out. Actually, Mitchell wanted to play a big shot on Gautam's ball, but the ball did not come on the bat and went to the wicketkeeper de Kock. De Kock thinks the ball has taken the edge of the bat and he makes a great appeal, Mitchell also feels the ball has taken the outside edge.
