Pak vs Aus: Mohammad Rizwan's controversial dismissal sparks outrage among fans
Third umpire then overviewed appeal from different angles and reckoned there was a spike as the ball passed the wristband
In a decision which cost Pakistan their second Test, wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan was dismissed in a controversial manner against Australia in Melbourne, sparking outrage among the fans.
Australia's captain Pat Cummins appealed for a caught behind in the 61st over of Pakistan’s second innings but the umpire gave it not out. However, Cummins decided to review the decision as he thought Rizwan might have gloved it.
The third umpire then overviewed the appeal from different angles and reckoned that there was a spike as the ball passed the wristband, hence, the on-field umpire was asked to change his decision.
However, the hotspot showed no mark as Rizwan looked away from the ball at the last second. Rizwan, who was sure that he didn't get anything on it, went back to the hut in utter disbelief.
Rizwan was batting on 35 runs when he was sent back to the pavilion during the second Test. Let's take a look at how fans have reacted to his dismissal.
