The ball hit Rohit on the pad, with his bat behind his front leg
The umpire opined Rohit was playing a shot and review returned not-out
The second Test between India and England saw yet another controversy caused by an umpiring decision towards the end of Day 2 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. After Jack Leach trapped India opener Shubman Gill leg-before in the hosts second innings, Moeen Ali thought he had got India s other opener too, but the umpire decided otherwise. England reviewed the decision. Ali had tossed the ball up wide of off-stump and Rohit Sharma came down the track and it hit his pad, with his bat behind his front leg at the time of impact. The umpire, however, said that there was a shot on offer, and the third umpire - based on that inference - ruled it not-out as the impact was outside off-stump.
