“About that dismissal, honestly, I don’t know,” Rohit said after the match. “If we say something, it’s not well accepted. But if there’s no conclusive evidence, it has to depend on the referee’s decision on the field. That’s what I’ve been told. So I don’t know what that decision was like.” annulled, since the referee did not reveal it.
“The bat was clearly close to the bag. So again, I don’t know if it’s the right thing for me to talk about. It’s something for the umpires to think about. Have the same rules for all the teams, don’t keep changing your mind.”
A spike appeared on UltraEdge as the ball appeared to pass the bat. But the bat and pad were also very close at the same time, which meant the tip could have come from the bat grazing the pad.
When the replays appeared on the big screen, New Zealand began to celebrate. Pant seemed completely bewildered up to this point: he had performed a double glove touch with his batting partner Washington Sundar as soon as New Zealand came up to review; It was the last remaining revision. He now approached the referees on the field with his hand outstretched.
Latham explained New Zealand’s view on the dismissal in the post-match press conference. “Some of us heard two noises, and I guess when you review that situation you leave it up to the referee,” he said. “We can’t necessarily see the footage that the third official gets, so it’s certainly out of our control in terms of what it’s going to look like. Obviously we heard a couple of noises and decided to do the review and obviously it landed on the right side.” side for us, so obviously it depends on the referees. “It’s out of our control.”
New Zealand had reduced India to 29 for 5 in a range change and looked heavy favorites to win. But Pant managed to turn the tide for a while and Rohit felt his wicket had a big impact on the game. “That dismissal was actually very, very crucial from our point of view. Rishabh really looked good at that time. And I felt that he would help us get through it. But it was an unfortunate dismissal. We got out and then we were eliminated afterwards.”
