'Nitin Menon loves everyone except Kohli': Ashes umpire shown no mercy by Indian fans after Smith non-dismissal call

Hindustan Times  

It has been an exciting and riveting Ashes contest, as it has always been through the centuries, filled with close battles, dramatic turnarounds and few contentious calls which sparked arguments on both sides. On Friday, on the second evening of the fifth and final Test match at the Kennington Oval in London, viewers witnessed another of those as third umpire Nitin Menon took a tough call against the appeal from the England team to grant Steve Smith a lifeline in Australia's first-innings chase. Indian fans took a cheeky dig at Nitin Menon after his decision on Steve Smith run out appeal In the 78th over of Australia's first innings, Smith pushed the delivery from Chris Woakes towards square leg and immediately took off for two runs. However, substitute fielder George Ealham sprinted in from the boundary rope to throw the call towards England wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow, who dislodged the bails at the striker's end in time before a diving Smith could make it back. Most on Twitter applauded the Indian umpire for the tough call he took, but a section of fans showed no mercy to Menon as they took a cheeky dig at him with Kohli reminders.
