Umpires Should Have Same Rules For Every Team: Rohit On Pant's Controversial Dismissal
Rohit Sharma: India captain Rohit Sharma on Sunday waded into the controversial dismissal of Rishabh Pant in the second innings of the third Test in which the third umpire overturned a decision by the on-field umpire without conclusive evidence.
Pant was batting superbly and raced to 64 as India chased a 147 to win the third Test and salvage some pride. The wicketkeeper batter, who had rescued the side from 29/5 and taken them past 100 runs, was ruled out by the third umpire after the on-field umpire Richard Illingworth ruled that the ball had come off the pad and there was no bat involved.
Pant also approached the umpires, asserting no bat contact. The third umpire, though, overturned the on-field umpire’s call and decided to give the decision in New Zealand's favour.
