Big mistake by Rohit Sharma at the last moment before the end of the day, it may cost heavily in the match ahead.
Rohit Sharma DRS in India vs England 3rd Test : The third Test being played between India and England in Rajkot is becoming very exciting at the moment. Two days have passed, but it is still not known which way the contest will go. First the Indian team tried to put England under pressure by making a big score. After this, when it was England’s turn, the team again batted in the same style for which they have been known for the last two years. Before the end of the second day’s play, Indian captain Rohit Sharma made a big mistake at the last moment. It is not known yet, but it may prove costly in the coming days.
Rohit took wrong DRS in the last over of the second day
Actually, when the day was about to end, captain Rohit Sharma handed over the last over to Ravichandran Ashwin. In front of Ashwin was today’s centurion Ben Duckett. Ashwin’s ball turns and it seems that the ball contacts the bat and goes backward, where Rohit Sharma takes a difficult catch. It seemed that Ben Duckett was out. But the umpires are not satisfied with this. Rohit fell on the ground while taking the catch and took DRS while lying down. When the third umpire watches it in slow motion, it is revealed that the ball falls outside the leg stump and there has been no contact with the bat. Now it could be a case of LBW, but the ball has fallen in the wrong place, so he cannot be given out. According to the rules, if the ball pitches outside the leg stump, then there is no need to look ahead, the batsman is not out there. That means DRS went waste.
India has only one review left, 17 out of 24 DRS failed
Rohit Sharma had taken DRS once before, which proved unsuccessful. Any team gets a total of 3 DRS during an innings, out of which India’s two reviews went wrong. That means now only one DRS is left. The problem is that England still have 8 more wickets left. If more than one DRS is required then it may be difficult for the Indian team. Anyway, DRS has not done much work for the Indian team in this series. The Indian team has so far used DRS a total of 24 times in the matches of this series, out of which 17 have been unsuccessful. When the team is bowling, only the captain can indicate DRS, while during batting, any batsman can demand a review from the umpire.
England’s entire 3 reviews remain intact
If we talk about England, they still have 3 DRS left in this innings. That means if they need, they can use it three more times, but the Indian team has only one left. It is not known yet, but if a batsman is out after the end of DRS on the third day of the match and the on-field umpire declares him not out, then the matter may get stuck. This has been seen many times before in Test cricket. Now it remains to be seen how captain Rohit Sharma and the Indian team deal with these challenges.
