Overview
- The caught-behind ruling followed a short delivery from Naman Dhir and was upheld after UltraEdge showed a spike that the third umpire interpreted as bat-to-ball contact.
- Sherfane Rutherford, who made 24 off 25 balls, immediately reviewed the call and was visibly furious on the field as he argued with match officials before leaving the crease.
- At the time of the decision West Indies were 207 for 3 in 30.2 overs with Shai Hope unbeaten on 95 and needing 145 from 118 balls to reach India’s 352.
- Losing the final review removed West Indies’ tool to challenge any later close dismissals, which raises the stakes for shot selection and partnerships late in a high-run chase.
- While fans and some commentators criticised the verdict on social media, the match officials relied on UltraEdge evidence and the on-field decision now stands for the remainder of play.
