IND vs WI: New Angle Emerges in Ravindra Jadeja's Controversial Run Out!
Home > News Shots > Sports newsTwo days after India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja's run out in the 1st ODI against West Indies created a ruckus on the internet, a new angle to the incident has emerged.
According to a report by Hindustan Times, on field umpire Shaun George changed his mind and went upstairs on the insistence of third umpire Rod Tucker and not because of the West Indies players' appeal influenced by 'people outside'.
The incident happened in the 48th over when Jadeja tried to steal a single and put Shivam Dube on strike. Roston Chase picked up the ball and took a shy at the stumps. It was a direct hit, but it appeared that Jadeja had already made his ground safely. Roston then made a feeble appeal and video replays suggested that Jadeja was outside the crease when the bails came off. The third umpire then adjudged Jadeja out.
‘The thought is simple, the fielder asked ‘how is that’ and the umpire said ‘not out’. The dismissal ends there. The people sitting on the TV outside cannot tell the fielders to then tell the umpire to review it again. I’ve never seen that happen in cricket. I don’t know where the rules are, where the line is drawn. I think the referee and the umpires have to take that up, see that incident again. And figure out what needs to be done in cricket. People sitting outside can’t dictate what happens on the field. I think that’s exactly what happened there,’ Kohli said at the post match presentation.
The MSS's Laws of Cricket says, “for an appeal to be valid, it must be made before the bowler begins his/her run-up or, if there is no run-up, his/her bowling action to deliver the next ball, and before Time has been called.”
