The third umpire was conceptualized by former Sri Lankan Test cricketer, and current cricket writer Mahinda Wijesinghe and debuted in Test cricket in November,1992 at Kingsmead, Durban for the South Africa vs. India series. Karl Liebenberg and Cyril Mitchley were TV umpires in this match. Sachin Tendulkar became the first batsman to be dismissed (run out) by using television replays in the second day of the Test scoring 11. video [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJ9jmJP04JA]Historic cricket incident, 1st batsmen ever dismissed by 3rd umpire SACHIN TEDULKAR - YouTube[/ame]
