The one-off Test in Hyderabad is exploiting a grey area in the visiting team's approach towards Decision Review System (DRS).
Bangladesh bowling attack wilted under the pressure of India's star studded batting order and it was apparent that the one-off Test in Hyderabad is exploiting a grey area in the visiting team's approach towards Decision Review System (DRS).
After a video which went viral, showed Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim reviewing a delivery for LBW which clearly struck the middle of Virat Kohli's bat, a new footage emerged where the visitors are seen appealing for a caught behind on a delivery that missed Chetehwar Pujara's bat by a good 18 inches.
That was the gap between bat and ball
This incident happened in the third over of the Indian innings. Cheteshwar Pujara was new to the crease and Taskin Ahmed sent a delivery down the leg to which the batsman shouldered arms. Rahim dived to his left and caught the ball before it could hit the ground. The fielders looked certain that that was 'out' and vehemently appealed. Umpire disagreed as in naked eye also it was clear that there was daylight between the ball and bat when it went past Pujara. Surprisingly Rahim was thinking about reviewing it but sense prevailed and he decided to carry on with the game.
But later on he did take a disastrous DRS and became the butt of all jokes.
Opener Murali Vijay and skipper Kohli smashed scorching centuries to fire India to a first-inning score of 356 for three at stumps on the opening day.
Opting to bat first, Vijay struck 12 boundaries and one six in his blistering knock of 108 runs besides stitching a massive 178-run stand with first drop Cheteshwar Pujara (83) for the second wicket. Subsequently, Kohli struck his fourth hundred of the home season and 16th century in Test cricket off 130 balls.
