Sarfaraz Khan Convinces Rohit Sharma To Take Brilliant DRS : The 24th over of New Zealand’s innings was in progress. Ravichandran Ashwin bowled the final delivery, which was pitched outside the leg stump. Despite this, Will Young attempted to play at the ball but missed due to the bounce. The wicketkeeper collected it cleanly. Neither captain Rohit Sharma, positioned in the slips, nor wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant appealed. However, short-leg fielder Sarfaraz Khan and bowler Ravichandran Ashwin made a strong appeal.
Sarfaraz Insisted on Taking the DRS
Although Ravichandran Ashwin appealed, he didn’t seem fully confident. Meanwhile, the umpire turned down the appeal. Sarfaraz then approached captain Rohit Sharma, insisting they go for the review. Virat Kohli, fielding nearby, also supported Sarfaraz’s suggestion. Seeing their determination, Rohit signaled for the Decision Review System (DRS) with just 5 seconds left.
