Pant out to controversial decision!

November 03, 2024 12:27

India Inns 2: 107-7 (22 ovs); Target to win: 147 | Scorecard

Pant uses his feet to loft Ajaz wide of the fielder at long-on for a boundary, the placement is perfect by the left-hander.

He looks to defend the next ball off the front foot but it turns sharply off the rough and goes off the pads to the slip fielder. New Zealand quite interested but the umpire is unmoved before they take the DRS.

A clear gap between bat and ball and there is nothing on the UltraEdge as the Kiwis lose their review.

That was a good delivery, flight and turning into Pant, who was dragged forward to defend.

Pant superb with his placement as he sweeps the spinner with the turn in the gap at deep square leg for another four.

He steps out and is forced to defend as the ball bounces sharply and turns. The Kiwis take the review yet again for a catch off the gloves. They have take a big gamble as this is their third and final review.

There is a clear spike when the ball passes the bat. Could be this because of the bat hitting the pads?

The TV umpire rules it out as he believes that it has come off the inside edge.

Pant can't believe the decision as he makes the slow walk back. He is pleading with the on-field umpires that the bat hitting the pads created the spike on the UltraEdge.

The entire Wankhede is stunned as Pant makes his way back after a superb counter-attacking knock of 64 from 57 balls, with nine fours and a six.

Ajaz continues his love affair with Wankhede as he picks up his fifth wicket of the innings.
