In a critical moment, Virat Kohli, positioned outside the crease, contested the umpire’s decision regarding the height of a delivery from Harshit Rana.
Believing the ball was above waist height, Kohli challenged the call, only for technology to refute his assertion. Ball-tracking data indicated the ball would have dipped if Kohli had been within the crease, resulting in his dismissal.
Despite Kohli’s vehement objections, the umpires upheld their decision, sparking a visibly angry reaction from the cricketing maestro.
His animated exchange with the officials not only highlighted the intensity of the situation but also revived discussions about the role of technology in umpiring.
