Worst review of all time?

People used to joke about Shane watson reviewing plumbest LBWs but our skipper has reviewed a cleaned bowled decision!!

 

How much ego must one have to believe that somehow a clean bowled decision will be overturned? did he think the umpires, english players, rohit and crowd are all involved in a conspiracy to give him a duck?

 

I wonder how the chat with rohit went before asking for a review. "t-the ball hit the stumps v-virat" "chup kar bc"

It was more due to embarassment than ego. After his failure in 1st test, he was looking to get a big score here and couldnt believe he can get out for a duck.

Even English commentators and players in dug out were laughing their ass off. Such a shameless man this bollywood Kohli is.

What rubbish. It was referred by umpires because there was doubt if it hit the stumps or not. India still has 3 reviews intact.

The rubbish is umpires reviewed because Kohli acted like he can't be out and stood his ground. No other players would have shown that kind of abhorrent attitude in the first place. Umpires lacking any self respect simply gave in.

I guess you only saw the scorecard? Kohli refused to leave and umpire had to go to third ump.. benefit of home umps saved us a review

There was doubt if hit the stumps directly or maybe bounced off the wicket keeper's gloves and hit the stumps. Whenever there is doubt, umpires can refer the decision. In any case, India didnt lose any reviews. End of story.

The story here for me was 'intent'. Rat gets carried away with that word. Get a feel of the wicket before your flowing cover drive, will ya!

there was no doubt at all, why will stumps move backwards if it rebounded from keeper's hands?
