The final match of the championship trophy between India and New Zealand was disappointing for Rohit Sharma and Co on Sunday. First, I chose to hit the ball. The Black Hat started very well, and the opening game score remained unbeaten until 8 points. However, the Indians bounced back in the next five games and narrowed New Zealand to 75/3 with 12.2 points. The spinner Kuldeep Yadav took the door and Varun Chakarvarthy took one. Since India’s goal is their fourth breakthrough, they face a huge blow.
On the 22nd, Rohit Sharma handed over the ball to all-around player Ravindra Jadeja as the kiwis remained stable in the game, provided by partners of Tom Latham and Daryl Mitchell.
On the fourth delivery, Jadeja hit Latham’s mat and called on LBW. The signal was sent on the spot and was not eliminated, and Rohit discussed this with his teammates. Walker Kl Rahul is reluctant to accept Drs, and Jadeja convinces Rohit to use the review.
When India chose DRS, a third referee showed that the ball was actually missing a stump due to its height and Latham still didn’t go out. Therefore, India eventually lost DRS review.
Commentators Ravi Shastri and Dinesh Karthik saw this, saying Rohit should have listened to Rahul because he knew the ball was crossing the stump.
“When it was time to call Drs, KL Rahul was in balance. As expected, he continued to move forward. But Rohit Sharma decided to listen to the bowler and go to Drs,” Dinesh Karthik said.
On the other hand, Ravi Shastri said: “Kl Rahul may have shown the ball has risen. His pitching to the ball has a bird’s eye view.”
It is also worth noting that Jadeja fired Latham with 14 points after the incident. The Kiwi batsman tried to siege the shot, but Jadeja hit his mat, and this time, the field referee simply sent out the LBW logo.
