Watch: ‘Frustrated’ Virat Kohli Leaves The Field After A Flurry Of Bizarre Umpiring Decisions

Bizarre Umpiring Decisions: Virat Kolhi cut a forlorn figure at times during the 4th T20I match. But his destitute appearance had nothing to do with his team’s performance. India won the 4th T20I match after all and levelled the series 2-2 with both teams set to head into the decider on Saturday at the Narendra Modi Stadium, on Saturday evening with the aim to win the series and give a statement of intent ahead of the T20 World Cup in India later this year.

Watch: ‘Frustrated’ Virat Kohli Leaves The Field After Wrong Umpiring Decisions

Billions shared the same sentiment with Virat Kohli when every 50-50 umpiring decisions were going against India. At times, it felt that Kohli and his troops were fighting on two fronts; against England and the umpiring decisions. It’s hard to define why umpires made so many mistakes. There’s no accurate conclusion but personal opinions. But in any case, it will baffle Indian cricket fans despite India winning the IND vs ENG 4th T20I match by 8 runs.

There were two controversial decisions in the first inning alone when India was batting.

Rishabh Pant’s flick off Chris Jordan’s ball was given four despite the replays showing that the ball may have landed inside the boundary.

Virat Kohli got even more frustrated when in the final over Washington Sundar was given caught out by Adil Rashid off Jofra Archer. However, the replays clearly showed that Rashid’s foot was touching the ropes and the soft signal, which was out, should have been overturned.

Indian captain Virat Kohli couldn’t believe and could take no more and walked off the field.

IND vs ENG: One Of Worst Umpiring Decicions

IND vs ENG 5th T20I: No More Controversial Umpiring Decisions

This India vs England T20I series deserves better umpiring. But sadly, for some weird reasons, umpires are making mistakes and it seems they can’t handle the pressure of officiating in high profile games. Ahead of the IND vs ENG 5th T20I match, only cricket should prevail. These controversies hog more limelight than the actual performance by players, which is unjust for them.
Take, for example, Suryakumar Yadav, he had a terrific debut for India. But the Mumbai Indians batsman’s scintillating performance is being overshadowed by the wrong umpiring decisions. It shouldn’t happen at all.

India will take on England in the penultimate 5th T20I match at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday evening (IST).
