Former umpire Daryl Harper says he enjoyed watching new ad featuring Tendulkar and McGrath

Recently, cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar and Glenn McGrath teamed up for a funny ad for Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital that referred to McGrath’s strange ‘shoulder-before-wicket’ dismissal of Tendulkar in the Adelaide Test in 1999. Now, former Australian umpire Daryl Harper, who adjudicated that Tendulkar was out, has written a warm email to the hospital, saying that he enjoyed watching the ad and persisting that he’d made the right call. “Cricket is such an amazing game and who would have thought that my decision a quarter of a century ago would still feature in 2025? Fondly recalling his visits to India, including as an umpire for the first three editions of the IPL, he’s also shared his favourite photo with Tendulkar.
