Border-Gavaskar Trophy | Row over umpire’s decision to rule K.L Rahul out

The Hindu  

India batter KL Rahul's contentious caught behind dismissal in the opening Test against Australia kicked up a controversy with former players from both the countries questioning the third umpire's decision to overturn the on-field official's not out call. Former India head coach Ravi Shastri, who was commentating for Fox Cricket, said there was not enough evidence for the third umpire to overturn the on-field official's not out decision. Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden also felt that the spike in the snicko was not because of the ball taking an edge from Rahul's bat. Australia batting legend Mark Waugh added: "That's a very brave decision given the evidence that we've seen there; unfortunately KL Rahul’s got to cop it sweet … won’t be happy with the way it's ended."
