India cricket team batter Virat Kohli was absolutely furious with the umpire after an unsuccessful review challenging his dismissal. Santer managed to trap the batter for an LBW which the on-field umpire adjudged out. Kohli decided to go for a review but he wasn’t happy with what the ball tracking showed.
Virat Kohli miffed with his dismissal in IND vs NZ 2nd Test
The incident occurred in the final delivery of the 30th over. Virat Kohli attempted to tuck away the ball on the backfoot but ended up being hit on the front leg. Ball tracking showed no bat involved and the ball going to clip the leg stump and hence allowing the on-field umpire to stick to his decision as “Umpire’s call stood”. A visibly furious Virat Kohli couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the decision on the giant screen. He was seen muttering to himself furiously while walking back to the pavilion.
