The bails got here off and Mitchell and his teammates celebrated, considering he had bowled Hardik. But then Kiwi captain and wicket-keeper Tom Latham requested for the umpires to assessment it as a result of he felt he might need nicked the bails together with his gloves.
The third umpire requested for a number of replays and even checked UltraEdge to see if the ball had grazed Hardik’s bat. In the split-screen pictures that have been proven to him by the TV crew, it was clearly seen that the ball did not appear to have grazed the off stump in any respect. And that the bails lit up and fell after the ball had been collected by Latham who was standing as much as the stumps.
Hardik’s teammates too weren’t happy with the decision and when Latham bought into the center with New Zealand chasing 350, his behavior of protecting his arms behind the wicket, dangerously near the stumps was imitated by India keeper Ishan Kishan.
The Indians appealed for a stumping on the primary ball Latham confronted off off-spinner Kuldeep Yadav as Kishan took the bails off in jest.
Latham was very a lot within the crease however Kishan went forward with the attraction and that didn’t go down nicely with former India captain Sunil Gavaskar.
“Taking the bails off was fine but he should not have appealed,” stated Gavaskar on air.
Like Kishan, Latham too was amused by the incident.
