"The Clipping Was Shown Wrong": Pakistan Great's Serious DRS Allegation
South Africa edged past Pakistan by a one-wicket margin to register a thrilling win over the Babar Azam-led side on Friday. Aiden Markram hit a solid 91 but a late batting collapse from South Africa kept Pakistan alive in the game. It was left to the last pair of Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi to score the final 11 runs. Shamsi survived a close leg-before appeal that went to the umpire's call off fast bowler Haris Rauf with eight needed. The incident took place on the final ball of the 46th over.
Actor Ayushman Khurrana Says "Shamsi Out Tha". Shoaib Akhtar Responds
The Decision Review System (DRS) drama in the Cricket World Cup has refused to die down ever since the controversial incident unfolded in the South Africa vs Pakistan clash. “Umpire's Call” divided the cricketing fraternity, suggesting that the margin of error that the technology has needs ‘umpire's call' to be plugged. But, there are those too who feel if the technology says the ball is hitting the stumps, no matter the margin, the decision should be in the favour of the bowler. The debate has even gone beyond the cricketing universe, with famous Bollywood actor Ayushman Khurrana also sharing his opinion on the same.

"Keshav Maharaj Told Me...": South Africa Star Opens Up About Crucial DRS Call Against Pakistan In Cricket World Cup 2023
Tabraiz Shamsi was palpably relieved after surviving a close leg before appeal on 'Umpire's Call' as that one major decision as all but brought curtains on Pakistan's Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign after a one-wicket defeat to South Africa, their fourth on trot in the tournament. Chasing 271, the Proteas were down to the final pair, and Shamsi faced a strong LBW appeal off Haris Rauf's bowling, which was given not out by the on-field umpire. As a convinced Rauf opted for the review, it was the 'Umpire's Call' that handed Shamsi the much-needed lifeline by the barest of margins, which somewhat proved to be the decisive factor in the encounter.
