'TV Umpire Lacked Sufficient Evidence For Crucial Call,' Says Manjrekar On Rahul's Controversial Dismissal
Gavaskar Trophy Test: India opener KL Rahul's dismissal on the first day of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test in Perth has ignited a heated debate over the usage of the Decision Review System (DRS) as former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar questioned the quality of technological support provided to the third umpire.
The incident occurred just before lunch, leaving India reeling at 47 for 4 after opting to bat on a challenging surface.
Rahul, who had displayed immense patience in his 74-ball innings of 26, was adjudged caught behind off Mitchell Starc after Australia opted for a review. On-field umpire Richard Kettleborough had initially given him not out. However, third umpire Richard Illingworth overturned the decision based on Snicko, which showed a spike as the ball passed Rahul's bat.
