Michael Vaughan, working for the BBC’s Test Match Social, stated: “You can’t have this, I’m sorry. Kohli is such a powerhouse, you can’t have him intimidating the umpire. It’s a stinker of a decision but you can’t be doing that as a captain.”

They weren’t really certain what they had been reviewing for. If they had been so sure that it was out and will have been given right away, why did it take them so lengthy?

“Kohli pushes the line with umpires and officials. Joe Root went up and asked in a very smiley sort of way about a review earlier in the game, but Kohli is a lot more animated when he speaks to them — which doesn’t look good.”
