Irani Trophy | Twitter reacts Ajinkya Rahane's cool dips after controversial LBW call
A player may stay composed throughout their career, but at times they lose their cool over questionable umpiring decisions. A notable instance occurred during the Irani Trophy match between Mumbai and the Rest of India, where Ajinkya Rahane was seen disputing a dubious LBW call with the umpire.
In their second innings, Mumbai started strongly, with Prithvi Shaw contributing 70 runs off 85 balls. However, following the dismissals of Ayush Mhatre and Hardik Tamore, Ajinkya Rahane fell victim to a contentious LBW decision.
On the last ball of the 25th over, Manav Suthar bowled a full, straight delivery that angled into the pads. Rahane attempted a paddle sweep but completely missed the ball. The Rest of India team vocally appealed, and on-field umpire Khalid raised his finger to signal an out. After a brief discussion with Shaw, Rahane opted for a review. The replays confirmed three reds, indicating a clear out, leading to Mumbai losing their review as Rahane was forced to head back to the pavilion. As he left, Rahane conversed with the umpire, suggesting the ball had edged the bat. However, brief replays of the dismissal revealed a significant gap between the bat and ball at the moment of impact, which likely influenced the third umpire’s decision to disregard Rahane’s claim. This unfolding drama captured the attention of the Twitterverse, igniting discussions across social media.

Beast together
Ajinkya Rahane and Anil kumble has better test captain legacy than Rohit Sharma. Virat kohli is different beast altogether.

Media driven
Kohlism needs to be reviewed were the headlines after historic London Oval win but here Rohit outdated Kohli in captaincy by winning a series against mighty Bangladesh where he scored massive 42 runs. Rohit is a media driven player, without pr he is another ajinkya rahane. https://t.co/ZDey8uUyjd

Unfair
Unfair comparison. Rohit played only 61 Tests he will score more Test Runs than Ajinkya Rahane within 1 year

Big trouble
ROI is in big trouble with 6 wicket down, not many instances where a state team dominate over ROI in irani cup, would not be a good sign for Ruturaj if ROI does not take the first inning lead. Ajinkya Rahane is top notch captain.#IraniCup
