It was a complete mess as starting from the third umpire, ground umpire and Kieron Pollard created a mess of sorts with Ravindra Jadeja dismissal. First the umpire didn’t call him out, then the replay showed him out, and the ground umpire went upstairs after the replay was out on the screen.

On the fourth delivery of the 48th over, Ravindra Jadeja dug a Keemo Paul full ball to silly mid-off and instantly took off for a run. But Roston Chase was alert enough to collect the ball instantly and disturbed the furniture at the non-striker’s end. While Windies player appealed for the wicket, umpire Shaun George was not too keen and didn’t even go upstairs to crosscheck his strong belief.

While Chase was already confused that why the umpire didn’t go upstairs, once the replay was on the big-screen, someone saw that Jadeja was an inch short of completing the single. All Windies players, including Kieron Pollard, were stunned and asked for an explanation from the umpire, and bowing under pressure, George referred to the third umpire.

That, however, irked Harsha Bhogle on air who reacted heavily on the same, calling it unfair considering the Windies had already seen the replay before that. But the third umpire checked the video again, for reasons only known to him, and ruled the Saurashtra batsman out. By then, it was complete chaos in the middle as Virat Kohli, who left his chair in the dressing room and came to the boundary line in displeasure.

Here is how people reacted on Twitter about it!
