WATCH: Rohit Sharma’s dismissal vs West Indies allures mixed views from experts and fans

Rohit Sharma’s dismissal vs West Indies: The Indian vice-captain’s mode of dismissal saw people questioning the decision.

During the 34th match of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 between West Indies and India at Old Trafford, India vice-captain and opening batsman Rohit Sharma’s dismissal became a source of debate for plentiful experts and fans believed that he was wrongly given out.

It all happened on the last delivery of the sixth over when there was a huge appeal for caught behind against Sharma. Playing an in-swinging ball from West Indies fast bowler Kemar Roach, Sharma saw the ball going between his pad and bat to wicket-keeper Shai hope.

After Sharma was initially given not-out by the on-field umpire, West Indies captain Jason Holder opted for the review. While there was a clear noise and deflection, it was unclear if the same had come from the inside edge of Sharma’s bat or from his pad.

In the general run of things, umpires persist with the on-field umpire’s decision in the absence of conclusive evidence. However, TV umpire Michael Gough found enough evidence to rule Sharma out.

Opening the batting with Lokesh Rahul, Sharma ended up scoring 18 (23) with the help of one four and one six. Having hit the two boundaries in the same over, Sharma had just given signs of opening up.
