IND vs SA LIVE: Kohli, Rahul attacks Broadcaster after controversial DRS call, ‘Whole South Africa playing against XI guys’
What irked Kohli, KL Rahul? The controversial call evoked different reactions from KL Rahul, skipper Virat Kohli, and spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.
The incident occurred in the 21st over of the innings which was bowled by Ashwin. The spinner bowled a tossed-up delivery and it drifted in, beating Elgar on the inside edge and the ball struck him right in front of the stumps, and on-field umpire Marais Erasmus raised his finger.
However, Elgar reviewed the decision and replays showed that the ball was going over the stumps, and hence the decision was overturned.
Indians Attack the Broadcaster: Team India was shocked on seeing the ball going over the stumps and the stump mic caught Kohli, Ashwin, and Rahul suggesting some tampering with the technology. Even umpire Erasmus was seen shaking his head on how the ball was missing the stumps.
