Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE: DRS saves Mokhade

13/01/2026 09:16

A mental win here for Ishant Sharma, who gets to nip one back into Aman Mokhade. A loud appeal but the umpire decided to go against it. Ishant Sharma, after consultation with keeper Anuj Rawat, went for a review but was only left disappointed with the 'Umpire's call'. Delhi doesn't lose a review but Mokhade stays.
