Umpires are again under the scanner.

The T20 series between India and England has been shrouded with controversial umpiring decisions with the 2nd match at Nagpur attracting headlines for all the wrong reasons as Joe Root was given LBW after inside-edging a Jasprit Bumrah delivery.
Wednesday was no different and this time India found themselves on the wrong side of the dice. KL Rahul was bowled off a no-ball and neither the on-field nor the third umpire took any corrective measure.

In the eighth over of the Indian innings bowled by Ben Stokes, Rahul went for a massive heave on the leg side and missed the ball altogether to find his stumps rattled. However TV replays clearly showed that Stokes had overstepped. But the men that matter didn't take any call and the opener had to go back to the pavilion.
Suresh Raina (63 off 45 balls) and MS Dhoni (56 off 36 balls) got together to guide the hosts to a total of 202 for 6 in 20 overs.
