WTC Final Umpire Review Against Virat Kohli Leaves Virendra Sehwag And Fans Confused

IND vs NZ | There was a feeling in everyone's mind about the WTC Final that the ICC would take every step to make this historic final memorable. But some such incident happened during the match, due to which the debate on social media has intensified. On the second day of the Test Championship, there has been such an act by the umpire, about which fans and cricket experts are giving their opinion on social media. In fact, it happened that on the last ball of the 41st over of the Indian innings, Kohli tries to play a shot on the ball going out of the leg stump but the ball goes to the wicketkeeper. After this, bowler Trent Boult appeals for a catch out. But at the same time, it is seen that the captain of the Kiwi team exceeds the time limit for taking the DRS for the appeal of Kohli's dismissal. But here umpire Richard Illingworth starts talking to the leg umpire about this. After talking to each other, both the umpires decide to take the umpire review.

Indian captain Kohli looks a bit angry due to the umpire doing this. In fact, Kohli felt that when the umpire turned down the appeal in the first instance and the captain of the opposing team did not take the DRS, then how did the field umpire decide to take a review. When the TV umpire (third umpire) thoroughly observed that there was no contact between the ball and the bat, the field umpire was instructed to continue play, but Kohli resisted. Kohli was also seen talking to the umpire for a while.

At the same time, commentators were also trying to understand this problem during commentary. According to veterans, Kohli was talking to the umpire because he would have to review whether the ball went to the keeper or not. But here the TV umpire checked whether Kohli edged the ball or not. The captain was seen arguing with the umpire regarding this matter.

Although the match started again, former India veteran Virendra Sehwag has questioned the umpiring by tweeting. In his tweet, Sehwag wrote. 'Weird umpiring, no decision was given by the umpire and it automatically became a review.'
