[Watch]- Rohit Sharma Shows His Disappointment After A Controversial Decision By Third Umpire

Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma once again failed to create his impact with bat against KKR in the ongoing season of Indian premier league. Rohit was dismissed on score of just 2 runs in 6 balls. Tim Southee took the important wicket of Rohit Sharma in the first over.

Rohit edged the ball of Southee which went into hands of Sheldon Jackson who took an amazing catch to send back Rohit. However, Rohit’s unlucky dismissal raised questions over the decision of the third umpire and the Ultraedge technology used. MI skipper also didn’t look happy with the decision of the third umpire.

3rd umpire Bruce Oxenford gave it out because there were spikes on the snickometer when the ball was close to bat. However, TV replay showed that there were some spikes on the snickometer even before the ball was close to Rohit’s bat. MI skipper looked disappointed and dejected with this decision of the third umpire.

Rohit Sharma believed that there was clear gap between bat and ball. He shook his head to show his dissatisfaction with decision and then took a long walk towards the pavilion. Mahela Jayawardene and Akash Ambani also couldn’t believe that third umpire gave it out. Several cricket fans too criticised this decision.
