The ODI series between India and New Zealand has started. The first match of this 3-match series is being played in Hyderabad. India decided to bat first in the match. However, there has been a big controversy during this match. Hardik Pandya had to return to the pavilion due to the controversial decision of the umpire.
This incident happened in 40 overs of the match. When Pandya tried to hit a shot on the fourth ball of Mitchell Santner’s over, but during this time, the ball went to the wicketkeeper while dodging his bat. But the stump light started burning when the ball came out near the wicket. But due to confusion, the umpire sent this decision to the third umpire.
Ball Seen Coming Out Of Stumps
After seeing the replay several times, the umpire gave out to Hardik. But there is a dispute about this very thing. Seeing the replays, it seemed that the light of the stump was lit not because of the ball but because of the wicketkeeper’s gloves.
Even in Ultra Edge, the ball did not seem to hit the bat; the ball was seen missing the stump straight away. Despite this, the third umpire gave the decision in favour of the Kiwi team.
The players of New Zealand were also surprised after the decision to the outcome on the big screen. At the same time, Hardik Pandya looked disappointed about the umpire’s decision. Pandya played an inning of 28 runs off 38 balls. During this, he hit 3 fours.
