During India vs West Indies ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 (CWC 2019), umpiring decision was once again questioned when Indian opener was adjudged caught behind. At first, the on-field umpire gave Rohit not out. However, West Indies opted for DRS (Decision Review System) and the third umpire ruled the right-handed batsman caught behind. Interestingly, Indian fans felt that the decision was against Rohit and the batsman should have been given the benefit of the doubt. Especially when he was given not out by the on-field umpire. Rohit Sharma Dismissal: Fans Troll Third Umpire Michael Gough After the Indian Opener Was Controversially Given Out Using DRS During IND vs WI CWC 2019 Match.
