New Delhi: India have indeed been struggling with the concept of DRS in this series. Time and again, their decision for a review failed to benefit them. But what about the one against Shaun Marsh?
Umesh Yadav's fifth ball in the 57th over aroused a huge shout from the keeper Wriddhiman Saha. Short ball, deviated off Shaun Marsh's bat and went staright into the hands of the keeper.
A loud appeal and captain Virat Kohli came into discuss for a review. But they didn't, probably because of their earlier failed attempts and also, they have only one review left. A wasted review would have resulted in a blunder.
A small replay of the delivery indeed showed that India were right, it was way off the bat. However, that is not the end.
The ultra edge motion revealed that, while the ball turned off the bat, but it did nick Marsh's glove by a whisker. Saha was excited the most, but Virat didn't go for it.
The first Test match witnessed some of the most unusual situations wherein the review system was used by the home team without much thought put into it.
Result, it turned to be a failure.
The first day of the second day too saw a similar situation, with Kohli wasting a review on his LBW dismissal.
But this time, it was surely the luck for Marsh.
