27.01.2024 - 07:03 sports.ndtv.com

India batter Ravindra Jadeja looked set to complete his century as he arrived on the pitch on Day 3 of the first Test against England in Hyderabad.

However, only a few runs later, England star Joe Root trapped him in front of the stumps, and the umpire had no issue in raising his finger.

However, Jadeja remained unconvinced and went straight to the third umpire, opting for a DRS referral. The third umpire analysed the footage available from multiple angles, and in the end, the decision went in the favour of Root and the England team.

But, that didn't stop a social media debate from triggering. The confusion erupted in the mind of the third umpire after the Ultra Edge showed a big spike just as the ball passed the bat.

It wasn't entirely surprising then to see Ganguly, a lifelong supporter of pace bowling and sporting tracks, airing his views in favour of decks that keeps bowlers of all genres in the game, rather than just spinners.
