BGT 2024:25: KL Rahul Left Fuming Over ‘controversial’ DRS Call Before Lunch
Gavaskar Trophy Test: India opener KL Rahul was left fuming after being dismissed under controversial circumstances during the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against Australia at the Perth Stadium on Friday.
Rahul was initially given not out by the on-field umpire while trying to defend off Mitchell Starc in the 23rd over, following which Australia went for the DRS, as they felt for a caught-behind dismissal.
On review, third umpire Richard Illingworth felt Rahul nicked the ball following a spike on UltraEdge, despite the bat possibly looked to hit the pad at the same moment. Despite Illingworth requesting a front-on angle, he wasn’t provided one by the producers and had to make a decision through the inconclusive angle from behind the stumps.
