Rohit Sharma's Jaw-Dropping Reaction to DRS Overruling Umpire's Decision

Rohit Sharma's Disbelief as DRS Overturns Umpire's Decision in India vs. Bangladesh Test

On the opening day of the second Test between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur, Indian captain Rohit Sharma's reaction to a successful Decision Review System (DRS) call went viral on the internet.

After pacer Akash Deep's initial LBW appeal against Shadman Islam was denied by the on-field umpire, Deep urged Sharma to review the decision. Despite initial hesitation, Sharma agreed, and the DRS confirmed the dismissal, much to his surprise.

The delivery, angled in from around the wicket, straightened and hit Islam's pads. Deep's confident appeal was initially met with denial, but the DRS showed the ball hitting the leg stump, leading to Islam's departure for 24.

Sharma's reaction, a mix of disbelief and amusement, captured the attention of viewers. The Indian players erupted in celebration, congratulating Deep for his persistence and the successful DRS call.

The incident highlighted the importance of DRS in modern cricket, allowing umpires to rectify potential errors and ensure fair play. It also showcased the growing confidence of Indian bowlers in using technology to their advantage.

Earlier in the day, Sharma won the toss and elected to bowl first on a Green Park Stadium track that offered bounce and carry. India lead the two-match series 1-0 after a comprehensive victory in Chennai.
