Indian skipper Virat Kohli dominated English bowlers all through the day three ever since he came on to bat on at the Wankhade stadium in Mumbai for the forth test .Although the match was going quite well and serious something interesting happened about the DRS rule which led everyone busting into laughter.
In an innings of a Test match, two reviews are allotted to both batting and fielding teams. As long as they continue getting their reviews right, the quota remains the same. But two failed DRS means the team can no further challenge umpire’s decision.
The incident happened when Moeen Ali was bowling to Jayant Yadav in the 139th over of the match when the third ball of the over seemed to have taken a fine edge and England appealed for caught behind but the umpire said no. This is when the English captain cook asked for a review. But Virat Kohli as always being spontaneous and excited reminded Cook that they don’t have any more reviews. With this India finished the day’s play with 51-run lead thanks to the excellent contribution from Murali Vijay and Virat Kohli.
The system was first tested in an India v Sri Lanka match in 2008, and was officially launched by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on 24 November 2009 during the first Test match between New Zealand and Pakistan at the University Oval in Dunedin.
