The match has again turned out to be surrounded by controversy in terms of a call made by the Decision Review System (DRS) in the second session. When on-field umpire Michael Gough agreed to an appeal for Ravindra’s wicket, Rachin appealed for the DRS. Then the third umpire, Richard Illingworth, stuck with the decision even though there was a faint tick on UltraEdge after the ball had moved past the bat. Smith then pointed out that Kohli was surprisingly silent after the review and was not celebrating the wicket, despite having an aggressive personality on the field. In the commentary drama, Ian Botham spoke about the DRS system, and that made Bhogle urge that such critical decisions should be made clear.
