Watch: In India vs. Sri Lanka, 2nd ODI Major DRS Controversy Erupts
During the second ODI between India and Sri Lanka at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, on Sunday, a controversy took place. On the final ball of the 15th over, an AkilaDananjaya delivery caught Virat Kohli right in front of the stumps, and the umpire also raised his finger over the LBW appeal made by the Sri Lankan players.
Kohli had a chat with non-striker Shubman Gill, and then he went upstairs. A review put the third umpire in a big dilemma because the UltraEdge showed a spike when the ball crossed Kohli’s bat before hitting his pad, but the visuals showed that there was a good gap between the bat and the ball during that time.
The third umpire ruled it in favour of Kohli, and this left the Sri Lankan fielders as well as their interim head coach SanathJayasuriya frustrated. The wicketkeeper of Sri Lanka, KusalMendis, even threw his helmet on the ground in frustration.
