India contra Inglaterra: Rohit Sharma confundido enfrenta al árbitro después del gran drama del DRS en Vizag

The on-field umpire raised his finger without hesitation, but Hartley immediately requested a review. After a lengthy review, it was revealed that the ball had hit Hartley’s forearm, leading to the reversal of the on-field decision. Confusion arose when the third umpire checked for an LBW dismissal even though there was no appeal for leg-before.

Ball tracking showed the umpire’s call for LBW, but Hartley was ultimately not-out. Initially given out for a caught-out, upon review it was confirmed that there was no inside edge and the ball had hit Hartley’s arm. Puzzled by the incident, Rohit confronted the umpire to ask why Hartley should remain not-out if the on-field decision was out.

The umpire clarified to the India skipper that the decision was out for a catch in the slips, not LBW. India did not have to wait long for a breakthrough after the incident, with Jasprit Bumrah striking to break the partnership between Ben Foakes and Tom Hartley. A few overs later, Mukesh Kumar took his first wicket of the innings by dismissing debutant Shoaib Bashir.

Hartley, who fought hard for his 36 off 47 balls, was eventually dismissed, along with England’s ‘Bazball’ approach which did not yield the desired reward. However, Ben Stokes’ men came close to achieving the unthinkable against India.
