Pat Cummins decided to review initial decision, thinking that Rizwan might have gloved the ball
Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan’s controversial dismissal in the second Test against Australia disappointed fans as they raised questions over the umpire’s decision on Friday.Â
During the 61st over of Pakistan’s second innings, Australia’s captain Pat Cummins appealed for a caught behind but the umpire gave it not out.Â
However, Cummins did not agree with the decision and decided to review it as he thought Rizwan might have gloved it.
The third umpire then overviewed the appeal from different angles and reckoned that there was a spike as the ball passed the wristband, hence, the on-field umpire was asked to change his decision.
However, the hotspot showed no mark as Rizwan looked away from the ball at the last second. Rizwan, who was sure that he didn’t get anything on it, went back to the hut in utter disbelief.
Rizwan was batting on 35 runs when he was sent back to the pavilion during the second Test in Melbourne. Let’s take a look at how fans have reacted to his dismissal.Â
