Overview
- The exchange unfolded in the third India–South Africa ODI in Visakhapatnam when Kuldeep Yadav animatedly urged for a DRS on a close shout against Lungi Ngidi.
- Rohit Sharma, a senior voice in the field, calmly gestured Kuldeep back while stand-in captain KL Rahul declined to send the appeal upstairs.
- An earlier delivery in the innings was also left unreviewed, and replays later showed the ball had contacted the bat.
- Kuldeep soon trapped Ngidi lbw in the same spell, with umpire N. Madanagopal’s on-field decision upheld on umpire’s call as ball-tracking showed the ball clipping the stumps.
- Broadcast footage of the light moment spread quickly across social media, and Yadav told the broadcaster he is “very bad” with DRS calls.
