"India missed a stunt," said previous India commander Sunil Gavaskar after Ajinkya Rahane's men chose not to utilize the DRS against Tom Latham toward the beginning of the day meeting of Day 3 in the India-New Zealand first Test in Kanpur. Latham kept on partaking in a sincere relationship with DRS in this Test match. He was give out threefold - twice by Nitin Menon and once by Virender Sharma - by on-field umpires on Friday and in each of the three events, Latham immediately settled on DRS and the choice must be switched. Furthermore, on Saturday, when he was given not out on the field, India chose not to go for the DRS. Replays showed that he would have been out.
The occurrence occurred in the 73rd over of the New Zealand innings when Ashwin got one to abandon a more full length. Latham didn't put a decent step forward and the turn implied, the ball avoided the left-hander's bat to brush his front cushion and afterward hit the back leg. There was a colossal allure from Ashwin and every one of the nearby in defenders yet the umpire turned it down. Shockingly India didn't choose the survey.
An over later, replays showed three reds - the ball was contributing line, the effect was straight and it was hitting the stumps. Ashwin was seen kicking the turf in dissatisfaction while Rahane had a frown all over when enormous screens showed the replay.
Amazing India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar and previous New Zealand pacer Simon Doull were in the editorial box when this unfolded.
"India missed a stunt. They ought to have gone for the audit. Regardless of whether it was umpire's call, they would have held the survey," Gavaskar said during critique.
India had two surveys in their bank during that time. Because of home umpires being utilized due to travel limitations in the post-Covid period, groups presently get three surveys each inning rather than two.
New Zealand went into lunch at 197 for 2. The second new ball got the job done for India at the stroke of lunch as Umesh Yadav pitched one online off-stump, what slice back enough to observe Williamson's cushions exactly when he was giving indications of settling down having arrived at 18 off 64 balls.
New Zealand scored 68 runs in that meeting and were 148 runs behind India's first innings all out of 345.
Opener Will Young (89 off 214 balls) passed up what might have been his lady Test century as Ravichandran Ashwin (28-7-57-1) gave the genuinely necessary leap forward.
