Watch: Virat Kohli's Reaction Sums Up India's Magical DRS To Get Rid Of Usman Khawaja

10.03.2023 - 17:47 sports.ndtv.com

Registering his name in the history books, Usman Khawaja created a mountain of runs as he hit 180 runs in the first innings of the 4th Test against India in Ahmedabad.

The Australian batter frustrated Indian bowers for as many as 5 sessions before Axar Patel finally got the better of him. But, it wasn't all straightforward as the hosts had to make use of the DRS to get rid of Khawaja as the line-umpire's decision on the LBW appeal was in the favour of the Australian batter.

It was the 147th over of the innings, with Australia already past the 400-run mark. The first delivery of the over hit Khawaja above the pad, and it's probably the height of the ball that made the umpire give the decision in the favour of the batter.

However, India decided to review the call and the result was three reds. The ball was firmly hitting the leg-stump, prompting the third umpire to give it out.
