‘Replay dekh to lo’: Rishabh Pant teases Rohit Sharma after captain’s abuse and DRS misjudgement

New Delhi: At some point of Day Four of the first Test against Bangladesh in Chennai, India’s Test skipper Rohit Sharma declined to review a caught-at the back of appeal, no matter Rishabh Pant’s strong urging to take it upstairs. Rohit remained firm in his decision, but when the replay aired on the screen, it revealed a missed opportunity, leaving the Indian skipper in a face-palm moment, with Pant standing beside him.

The incident came about all through the 62nd over of the innings when India’s Ravichandran Ashwin became bowling to Bangladesh batter Hasan Mahmud. The ball turned a bit with a steep bounce hitting the batter on the glove before being caught by Pant.

It appeared at first that the ball had hit the batter’s forearm before it became snapped back in for a catch at the back of the wicket, and Rohit Sharma sent Rishabh Pant’s challenge for a DRS review. On the choice hand, later replays showed that the ball merely brushed the glove. If Rohit had give you his review then, most certainly the umpire would have sent the batter walking.

As the replay became showed on the massive screen, Pant even poked skipper Rohit saying the batter became out, he should as a minimum examine the screen.

“Out tha, abe yaar replay dekh to lo (it became out, as a minimum see the replay), Pant may perchance perchance be heard saying to Rohit.

On the choice hand, the selection did now not impact the Indians, as they successfully beat the match by an innings and 280 runs, and your entire way at some point of the process, took the lead for the series by 1-Zero.

After the Test, Rohit Sharma became quick to congratulate Rishabh Pant, saying the latter is an excellent comeback man to Test cricket, adding he had performed so well after being away from the format for over 600 days.
