"Wanting To Keep 3 Reviews...": Ex-India Star's Big Take On Virat Kohli's DRS Blunder vs Bangladesh

sports.ndtv.com

Former Indian cricket team batter Sanjay Manjrekar expressed his sympathy for Virat Kohli after his DRS blunder during Day 2 of the first Test match against Bangladesh in Chennai on Friday.

Kohli was given out LBW by the on-field umpire and the star India batter decided to not opt for the DRS review. However, replays showed that the ball did hit his bat's inside edge and a DRS review would have resulted in the umpire overturning his decision.

Manjrekar took to social media to talk about the incident and said that Kohli most likely chose to keep all the reviews intact for his side. "Felt bad for Virat today.

He obviously didn't think he had hit it. Just wanted to know from Gill if ball was hitting stumps. Despite Gill encouraging him to go for the review anyway he walked away dejected wanting to keep the 3 reviews for his team," Manjrekar posted on X (formerly called Twitter).
