After getting hit for a six within the earlier supply, Avesh Khan had simply made Rajat Patidar gap out to Riyan Parag. Karthik was going through the primary supply and Avesh bowled a fuller size that nipped in again. Karthik rushed to defend the ball crouching ahead. The ball appeared to hit the pad plumb and the umpire raised his finger. The veteran determined to problem the choice and the third umpire entered the scene.Â
The replays confirmed a touch of spike when the ball handed the bat earlier than hitting the pads. The third umpire most popular reversing the choice. However for a lot of the purpose of concern was the spike popping up because the bat hit Karthik’s pad earlier than the ball was closed to the bat.

There was no bat. If there was, Dinesh would have taken DRS immediately.

There’s a purpose why know-how has been launched in cricket – to make the best name. And I’m wondering why the third umpire is at all times in a rush . That was clearly bat hitting the pad first . Was plumb infront IMO. #RRVSRCB
