India have dominated the first two days in the one off test match against Bangladesh. But what stood out in the first two days game play was the way DRS was used by the two sides.
Bangladesh’s captain Mushfiqur Rahim has taken a lot of stick in the social media after o Sarreviewing for LBW decision against which came from the middle of the bat. However, the second day saw some brilliant reviews made by the Indian captain.
India were fielding after posting a massive total and Bangladesh opener Soumyo Sarkar got the faintest of edges. Not the bowler or the wicket-keeper Saha was excited except Virat Kohli and the skipper has went for the review based on his gut feeling and has t. India were in a strong position after Bangladesh has ended the day’s play at 41/1.
India and Kohli were not only successful while bowling. The Indian skipper was adjudged LBW while batting earlier in the day and it looked plumb but it was wicketkeeper Saha who has suggested the skipper to go for review as he felt the might have missed the leg stump and the skipper survived.
However, after reaching his fourth double ton in as many series, Virat was once again caught on crease and was given out once again. Despite looking plumb, the ball has missed the off stump and the players had not reviewed.
Speaking on DRS, Saha said: “During the first instance, I told him that he had stretched to play and the ball was turning. So he went for it and was not out. On the second occasion, I told him that impact might outside off. Even he wasn’t sure about it and feared that it could be umpire’s call. So, he walked away and decided to save one review for the team”.
