Video: Umpire Paul Reiffel Gets Hit By A Loopy Throw From Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Walks Off

During the first day of the fourth Test match against England at Wankhede Stadium, Australian umpire Paul Reiffel was hit on the head by a loopy throw from Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who was standing at the deep-backward position resulting in him (Reiffel) walking off the ground.

On the second ball of the 49th over, debutant Keaton Jennings glanced one to the square-leg position of Ravichandran Ashwin, extracting a single, when Bhuvneshwar from the deep throw’s a ball which eventually hit the back of the head of umpire Reiffel. Reacting simultaneously, the 50-year-old fell down as the medical staff was rushed onto the field.

The play was on halt for a while, as the umpire was taken off the field for treatment. Not really a regular sight to watch on the field, shuffling of umpires was done post that. Third umpire Marais Erasmus, who was welcomed to a huge ovation, rushed on to the ground as a substitute for Paul Reiffel.

Here’s have a look at the video.
