Joe Root Controversial DRS Call: The first match of the five-match Test series between India and England is being played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Team India remained in a very strong position till the end of the first day of the match. During England's first innings to bat in the match, Joe Root was saved on the very second ball. But Root's not out led to controversy. So let us know what the whole matter is.
In fact, Joe Root, who came out to bat, almost got out on the second ball of his innings, when he tried to paddle sweep the ball of Ravindra Jadeja, but the ball came close to the bat and hit the pad. Seeing the ball hit the pad, Jadeja appealed, but the field umpire rejected his appeal, after which captain Rohit Sharma took DRS for the decision. But what was seen in DRS troubled everyone.
When seen in the replay, it was seen in Ultra Edge that the spike was rising as the ball was going closer to the bat, but a clear gap was visible between the ball and the bat. Here the spike in the ultra edge was rising even before the ball and bat reached close. It looked as if the ball had not hit the bat. But in the end, third umpire Marais Erasmus, keeping an eye on the spike, decided to give Root not out.
During this, Ravi Shastri, who was present in the commentary box, also emphasized that the spike was rising even before the ball reached near the bat. Shastri said, “The spike is coming even before the ball reaches his bat.”
