Rutherford's Frustration: Umpire's Call Sparks Debate
3 Oct
Summary
- Sherfane Rutherford controversially given out caught behind.
- UltraEdge showed a spike, upholding the umpire's decision.
- West Indies were chasing 352, needing 145 runs off 118 balls.
During the third ODI against India in New Chandigarh on Saturday, West Indies batsman Sherfane Rutherford expressed his frustration following a close caught-behind decision. Rutherford was given out off Naman Dhir's bowling after the umpire ruled a faint edge detected by UltraEdge technology.
The batsman opted for a review, but the technology confirmed contact between bat and ball, leading the third umpire to uphold the on-field decision. Rutherford contributed 24 runs from 25 balls before his dismissal, which also cost West Indies a review.
At the time of reporting, West Indies were 207/3 in 30.2 overs, still chasing India's target of 352. Shai Hope was anchoring the innings with an unbeaten 95, while Mohammed Siraj and Naman Dhir had claimed one wicket each for India.
