Aakash Chopra slammed Virat Kohli for not accepting the third umpire’s decision during the KKR vs RCB match at the Eden Gardens. The veteran was caught on a high full toss bowled by Harshit Rana. The on-field umpire gave him out, and Kohli didn’t get respite from the third official after taking DRS.
Virat lost his cool and abused the on-field umpires as he was not satisfied with the outcome. He had another round of discussion with the umpire after the match. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) fined him 50 percent of his match fees for not accepting the decision and taking on the officials.
In the CSK vs LSG match, KL Rahul was seen arguing with the umpire after a ball was called wide during CSK’s innings. The captain of Lucknow took a DRS but went towards the umpire to chat.
Former India player Suresh Raina didn’t like Rahul’s behavior. “Why is he arguing with the umpire. Rahul has taken DRS and let the third umpire decide. I don’t understand why he is arguing with the umpire,” Suresh Raina.
Aakash Chopra, who was sitting next to Raina in the commentary box, took a dig at Virat.
“Some people don’t accept even the third umpire’s decision,” Aakash Chopra said.
Meanwhile, KL Rahul was proved wrong, and the third umpire upheld the decision given by the on-field official.
