Captains Should Decide Wide-Balls, Waist High Full-Toss – Virat Kohli
“I am going to speak as a captain. As a captain, I would like to have the ability to review a wide, which could be a wrong call, or a waist-high full-toss, which could be a wrong call,” Kohli said during an interaction with KL Rahul, his first guest of the evening.
“It is a fast-paced game and you can miss a small margin and we have all seen this is a big factor. If you lose the game by a run and you are not able to review that wide, it could make a massive difference in someone’s campaign,” Kohli added.
Meanwhile, KXIP skipper KL Rahul stood by Virat Kohli’s point. He said that if it helps the game to move forward in an unbiased manner it is a good thought.
Rahul is also of the opinion that each team should be allowed to use two reviews instead of one, which is the current rule.
Rahul seconded Kolhi and said: “If that rule comes in, it is very good. You can give a team two reviews and say you can use it for whatever.”
Rahul also said that he picked up a few points the likes of MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli and used it in his first captaincy stint with KXIP.
