Pandya went for DRS and was declared not out after the ball seemed to have passed near the bat and there was a little touch felt but the third umpire declared Pandya not out and this got Virat Kohli upset. Kohli looked referring to the spike in the Sneekometer. However, Kohli went back to fielding after a while, giving a smile to Umpire.
