India vs Australia | Virat Kohli shares his displeasure for inconsistent DRS calls

DRS has been consistently under the scanner in this series, with the ball-tracking technology showing a clear error in Aaron Finch dismissal in the Ranchi ODI. The ball was pitched in the middle and off, but the ball tracking showed that it was landed on the leg, making the technology a less reliable one. 

Yesterday, the decision was again on focus as the snickometer showed a spike when Kedar Jadhav’s ball passed Turner’s bat, but the lighter disturbances before the ball reached the batsman meant there wasn't enough credible evidence to overturn the on-field decision. Turner survived a big scare, and Kohli was not at all happy with the way the decision was reached.

"But the DRS call was a bit of surprise for all of us and it's becoming a more of a talking point every game, it's just not consistent at all, that was a game-changing moment," Kohli said in the post-match presentation, reported Cricbuzz.

However, Turner clarified that he was sure about the fact that he hadn’t nicked at all despite admitting that his heart raced when he saw the inconsistent spike in the big screen.

"There were a few close calls and I know that I didn't nick that one. That went upstairs, my heart raced a little bit when I saw it on the big screen..." clarified Ashton Turner in the post-match presentation.

However, Kohli’s anger might have stemmed from the fact that earlier in the innings, an LBW decision was overturned in favour of the Aussies. Although Kumar Dharmasena ruled Usman Khawaja out after Kedar Jadhav’s delivery hit him on the pads, the ball-tracking showed that it missed the stumps by a mile. The Maharashtra all-rounder’s wide-angled release probably played a part in the ball-tracker showing the ball to be missing the leg stump, but India were not happy by that decision.
