The ones who bore witness to the 2019 World Cup final can't forget Kumar Dharamsena's umpiring gaffe that ultimately cost the Kane Williamson-led New Zealand the silverware. However, Chris Gaffaney and Paul Reiffel avoided the same umpiring blunder four years later and made the right call when it mattered during the first Test between India and England at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad on Thursday, January 25.
