South Africa vs India: Stump mic rant shows that India are feeling some pressure, says Lungi Ngidi
India Today
South Africa vs India: Proteas fast bowler Lungi Ngidi has said that India's angry reaction and their subsequent rant at the broadcasters through the stump mic showed that they were feeling the pressure at the time.
The Indian players' rant into the stump mic after an LBW decision against South Africa captain Dean Elgar was reversed showed that they were under pressure, Proteas fast bowler Lungi Ngidi has said. India were left miffed after Elgar was allowed to stay on via DRS with replays showing that the ball would have gone on to miss the stumps.
Even on-field umpire Marais Erasmus, who had little hesitation in giving out after the Indians appealed, could be heard saying "that's impossible" as he reversed his decision. India captain Virat Kohli, spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who was denied the wicket, and vice-captain KL Rahul then made their frustration audible on the stump mic.
