India Vs England, 4th Test: Ben Stoke's wicket on the same ball was declared Jasprit Bumrah's no ball by the third umpire
India Vs England, 4th Test: Ben Stoke's wicket on the same ball was declared Jasprit Bumrah's no ball by the third umpire
After a couple of morale-crushing defeats in the first two Tests (31 runs at Edgbaston) and (innings defeat at the Lord's), Virat Kohli registered a memorable victory in the third Test in Nottingham by 203 runs which helped them to bounce back in the five-match Test series.
Ben Stokes dismissal of Ajinkya Rahane became the highlight of the second session mainly because of how things proceeded during the review.
Ajinkya Rahane was adjudged LBW, it happened on the penultimate delivery of the 47th over of Ben Stokes but when Ajinkya Rahane decided to review that decision, TV replays suggested that Stokes' foot may have overstepped.
It was observed that Ben Stokes’ front foot was seen crossing the line. The same was evident even after some replays. However, umpire Joel Wilson was of another opinion and ruled the ball as a ‘fair delivery’, from here the controversy starts.
The same incident happened in the same Test when Joe Root was adjuged to LBW on penultimate delivery. It was seen that Jasprit Bumrah front foot was crossing the line but unfortunately it was the no ball.
India bowled out England for 246 on the opening day of the fourth Test match at The Ageas Bowl cricket Stadium in Southampton. In five Test match series, this is the first time in Test cricket five different Indian bowlers have scalped 10-plus wickets each in a same Test series.
