In the ongoing third ODI between India and England at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Kuldeep Yadav claimed the wicket of Tom Banton, who fell to a delivery that spun away and caught a faint edge. Despite Banton’s decision to review the on-field call, the third umpire confirmed the dismissal after the snickometer indicated contact with the bat. This incident prompted sharp criticism from former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar, who questioned how an experienced player like Banton could not recognize a nick. “Are you serious? Taking a review when you’ve nicked the ball? This is international cricket, not school cricket,” Gavaskar expressed during the live broadcast.
As the match progresses, England is facing significant challenges in their pursuit of India’s formidable total of 356 runs, with six wickets down. Earlier in the innings, Shubman Gill showcased his batting prowess with a brilliant century, scoring 112 runs off 102 balls, which included 14 fours and 3 sixes.
With England struggling at this stage, the pressure is mounting, and fans are eagerly watching to see if they can recover and stage a remarkable comeback. The unfolding drama of the match is a testament to the vibrant competitiveness of international cricket, offering an exciting spectacle for all fans.
