Twitter reacts to pumped Joe Root smacking Sibley’s gloves in ecstasy after saving his partner

08/07/2021

After Dominic Sibley was ruled 'out' by the on-field umpire, English skipper Joe Root urged the opener to go upstairs to challenge the umpire’s decision. Following the success of the review, Root was visibly seen pumped and smacked Sibley’s gloves in a hilarious moment on day four of the Test.

NOT OUT!

GOOD REVIEW!

Good review from England, and well called for by Joe Root. It’s a shot that Dom Sibley uses to score, but it’s also got him out a lot. If India are smart, they’ll keep bowling that same delivery to him over and over again. #ENGvIND

WELL DONE ROOT!

Dom Sibley was given out lbw. He reviewed the decision after consulting with Joe Root. DRS showed the ball would have missed the stumps. Sibley survives#ENGvIND #ENGvsIND #INDvENG
