Ind vs Eng 2nd Test: Controversial Call By Umpire Involving Rohit Sharma Sparks Massive Outburst on Twitter

Indian referees again faced the heat on the second day of the test in Chennai on Sunday after starter Rohit Sharma was granted a clemency. It was a Moeen Ali delivery at the end of the day and Rohit played it with his bat behind the pad. England players did not like the fact that the referee considered it as the batter playing a shot, while believing that the reality was different.

Thanks to that, Rohit survived an LBW scare during the second inning as his front foot at the moment of impact with the ball was off the stump. If the referee had considered that Rohit did not play a shot, then the result could have been different. This is how fans reacted to the latest controversy involving Indian referees.

The refereeing standards in this test have been the subject of much criticism. There was also an obvious mistake on the first day, which involved Ajinkya Rahane.

In the stumps of the second day, the hosts are in a dominant position with a 249-run, nine-wicket lead in hand.

Time is not a factor in this test as there are still three days of cricket left.
