India vs England 3rd Test: Fans slam ‘Umpire’s call’ rule after Rohit Sharma’s shocking dismissal

Rohit played a beautiful knock of 59 runs and looked set for a hundred until he fell prey to a poor decision by the umpire. Even the India opener was not happy with the decision and fumed on his way back to the dressing room.

India opener Rohit Sharma fell victim to the controversial rule ‘Umpire’s call’ on Friday during the third Test at Leeds and as expected the incident has sparked a debate on the internet. During the third innings of the match, Rohit was given out by the umpire and then he took the DRS which showed that the ball was clipping the top of the leg-stump. However, as per the rule, at least 50 per cent of the ball should be hitting the stumps, but fans feel only 10-20 per cent of the ball is clipping the wicket. Had the umpire not raised his finger, it would have been not out. Fans feel the Umpire’s Call rule is bizarre. Here is how fans reacted to the dismissal:
