When the umpire dismissed Sachin Tendulkar – Out of 10000 LBW decisions made in the history of Test cricket, Sachin Tendulkar has registered most LBWs as the veteran batsman was dismissed in this form 63 times, which also includes many controversial decisions as well. In another umpiring failure against the same opposition, Sachin was forced by the umpire to go back to the pavilion after yet another blind decision made by the official.
It was a normal delivery from Jason Gillespie which just any other batsman would have just allowed the ball to just go behind the wickets but by mistake, the ball touched the pads of Sachin Tendulkar. This contact between ball and pads was enough for umpire Steve Bucknor to adjudge Sachin out and looking at replays, it was clear that by no means Tendulkar was out. It looked like umpire was taking revenge with Sachin Tendulkar by declaring him out.
Tendulkar, as usual, did a wise thing to walk off, instead of involving in a debate with the umpire. Sachin has always been unlucky in terms of being adjudged LBW.
