‘Sack the 3rd umpire immediately’: Ex-cricketers react over TV umpire’s decision; Rahul also loses his calm – WATCH
A frustrated Rahul went closer to the on-field umpire for a chat but it was of no use as the final decision was made by the third umpire.
While Rahul and Bishnoi started celebrating, umpire Padmanabhan denied the dismissal. PBKS went for the DRS but the TV umpire wasn’t convinced with the ultra-edge which showed a little spike when the ball moved under Padikkal’s gloves. Ultimately, the batsman was declared not out while Punjab players weren’t happy at all.
