"All Clocks Will Start On Time": Virender Sehwag On Umpiring Bias In India-Australia Women's Hockey CWG Semi-Final

India ended up losing to Australia in women's hockey semi-final in the ongoing Commonwealth Games. However, the penalty shootout has now become a huge talking about after the umpires called for the first Australian shot to be re-taken due to a shot-clock error. It is important to note that Ambrosia Malone had missed the penalty, but the match officials called for the shot to be retaken, and Ambrosia did not fail to convert her strike this time around.

Former India batter Virender Sehwag has now reacted strongly to the call by the officials, saying such biasedness used to happen in cricket as well until they became a superpower.

"Penalty miss hua Australia se and the Umpire says, Sorry Clock start nahi hua. Such biasedness used to happen in cricket as well earlier till we became a superpower, Hockey mein bhi hum jald banenge and all clocks will start on time. Proud of our girls," tweeted Sehwag.

Australia eventually defeated India 3-0 in shootout to book their place in the finals, and they will square off against England in the gold medal match. On the other hand, India will square off against New Zealand in the bronze medal match.
