Toggle3. When umpire overturned third umpire’s decision
In an ODI against Australia during the 2011-12 tour at Brisbane, when on-field umpires overturned the third umpire’s call, MS Dhoni was furious. The wicketkeeper appealed for a possible stumping against Mike Hussey on Suresh Raina’s bowling, which the on-field officials referred to the third umpire.
Though the replays from one of the angles showed that Hussey’s back leg was just behind the crease, he was adjudged out. However, the on-field umpires, having seen the replays on the big screen in the stadium, called the Australian back. And this extracted a reaction from Dhoni, who is usually calm.
