Team India’s off-spinner Washington Sundar was unhappy with the umpire’s decisions on the field on the third day (Sunday, October 12) of the second and final Test match against West Indies. Sundar, who is usually calm on the field, was seen engaging in an animated discussion with Richard Illingworth regarding the umpire’s call.
The young cricketer failed to take any wicket in West Indies’ first innings at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Washington got his first wicket on the third day’s play by dismissing Alek Athanaz with a pitch ball just before the tea break. However, some LBW calls went in favor of John Campbell.
Washington Sundar is disappointed with two LBW calls against him
Washington Sundar was disappointed after two close LBW calls against John Campbell went against him due to umpire’s calls during the Delhi Test.
In the 19th over, Sundar trapped Campbell on the pads while the batsman moved forward to defend. Replays showed that the ball had hit the pad first and was going to hit the middle stump, but the impact was deemed to be just outside the ball and the umpire’s call saved the batsman.
A few overs later, Sundar once again trapped Campbell in front, the ball-tracking again showing little outside effect. As soon as Campbell survived the second time, Sundar exchanged words with on-field umpire Richard Illingworth, who responded with a calm smile.
