A dramatic turn of events marked Day 4 of the second Test between India and England when confusion arose over a DRS call. England’s Tom Hartley’s reverse-sweep shot led to a slip catch by India’s skipper Rohit Sharma, prompting the on-field umpire to raise his finger. Hartley immediately reviewed, revealing the ball had hit his forearm, leading to a reversal of the on-field decision.
Adding to the complexity, the third umpire assessed LBW despite no leg-before appeal, showing the umpire’s call for LBW, but Hartley remained not out. Amidst the perplexity, Rohit questioned the umpire on why Hartley was not out despite the initial out decision for the slip catch. The umpire clarified that the decision pertained to the catch, not LBW.
