Virat Kohli’s Team India issued BIG warning by ICC for DRS outburst in Cape Town Test

Match referee Andy Pycroft is believed to have told the Indian team management that the players’ behaviour was uncalled for and they could attract sanctions if such reactions are repeated.

India cricket team has been cautioned by Andy Pycroft, the match referee for the third Test match, after captain Virat Kohli and his teammates furiously vented their ire against host broadcaster SuperSport via the stump mic over a DRS decision involving South Africa skipper Dean Elgar. On Day 3 of the third Test in Cape Town, Dean Elgar reviewed a decision off the bowling of Ravichandran Ashwin on the fourth delivery of the 21st over of South African innings, after being given out LBW by on-field umpire Marais Erasmus and the decision was overturned in Proteas skipper’s favour.

As far as the replay is concerned, it showed the ball pitched in line and hit Elgar in the middle. However, quite mysteriously the trajectory of the ball showed that it was going over the leg-stump. Even the umpire expressed his shock and was heard saying ‘that is impossible’, on the stump mic.
