We’re presuming (Snicko) might be the outdoors edge of the bat however that might not hold true.” Australia batting legend Mark Waugh included: “That’s a really brave choice provided the proof that we’ve seen there; regrettably KL Rahul’s got to police it sweet … (he) will not more than happy with the method it’s ended.” Previous India gamers Wasim Jaffer and Irfan Pathan likewise felt the 3rd umpire erred in his choice.
“Third umpire requested for another angle which wasn’t offered. I ‘d presume he ‘d just request another angle if he wasn’t sure. If he wasn’t sure, why did he reverse the on field not out call? “Poor usage of innovation and appropriate procedure not followed. KL hard done by,” Jaffer tweeted.
“If it’s unclear do not provide it out!” Pathan composed on ‘X’.
Previous ICC elite umpire Simon Taufel likewise felt that Rahul wa per haps unfortunate.
“We saw with that side on shot there was a spike on RTS with the bat far from the pad, to put it simply the bottom of the bat had not reached the pad,” he was estimated as stating by ‘7Cricket’.
