Ind vs NZ 2nd Test: Virat and rahul dravid are frustrated with Umpire's decision


Head coach Dravid and virat kohli were so frustrated after the indian Captain dismissal by LBW which was given out by the Third Umpire. The video showed a clear inside edge during the 2nd test match on Day 1 on Friday. Ajaz patel was given a delivery that struck the front pad of kohli in his 30th over and was given out by the umpire when the new zealand players went for an appeal. kohli was sure that he was not out and gone for the decision review team after umpire anil chaudhary gave out for Kohli. The repeated replays showed that it is an inside edge only but looked difficult to find whether the ball hit the bat or not. There was also confusion about whether it hit both the bat and the pad.                    

    The third umpire Virender Sharma after looking at several replays from many angles said he is going with the umpire's decision of out. The three red signals were given and kohli marched out with a not-happy face. He even had a word of chat with the umpire in frustration before walking off. He also had a chat with coach Dravid who also seem unhappy with the decision. The 2nd test match started today in mumbai with kohli and Pujara dismissed for zero runs. This duck run made kohli the tenth captain in test cricket same as Graeme Smith from South Africa. india today won the toss and planned to go for batting first. The match also started a little late due to the wet field.
