TV Umpire Anil Chaudhury on Saturday was slammed for poorly dealing with a DRS evaluation taken by the England staff throughout the second Test towards India on the opening day on the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai which exhausted England’s evaluation choices handing Ajinkya Rahane a brand new lifeline. 
It was within the seventy fifth over of the day, within the ultimate hour earlier than stumps, when Jack Leach bowled throughout to the leg aspect. Rahane regarded to flick it behind however the ball popped off the pads to the fielder at brief leg. England opted for a evaluation which confirmed a flatline on the UtltraEdge because the ball handed the bat. Ball monitoring was checked as properly for a risk of a leg-before wicket however the ball was pitched outdoors therefore exhausting England’s evaluation choices. 

However, shortly later, it was checked that the ball, after popping off the pad, brushed Rahane’s gloves earlier than safely falling into the fingers of the fielder, which was not checked by the third umpire. 

Later, England’s evaluation was reinstated by the ICC Match Referee in keeping with 3.6.8 of the ICC’s enjoying circumstances which states: “A Player Review categorised as ‘Unsuccessful’ may be reinstated by the ICC Match Referee at his/her sole discretion (if appropriate after consultation with the ICC Technical Official and/or the television broadcast director) if the Player Review could not properly be concluded due to a failure of the technology. Any such decision shall be final and shall be taken as soon as possible, being communicated to both teams once all the relevant facts have been ascertained by the ICC Match Referee. A Player Review categorised as ‘Unsuccessful’ shall not be reinstated if, despite any technical failures, the correct decision could still have been made using the other available technology. Similarly, a Player Review categorised as ‘Unsuccessful’ shall not be reinstated where the technology worked as intended, but the evidence gleaned from its use was inconclusive.”
Rahane was dismissed 5 balls later, by Moeen Ali, virtually in the same method to Virat Kohli’s dismissal. He walked again for 67 leaving India 5 down for 249.
