Indian Test captain Virat Kohli was adjudged LBW (Leg Before Wicket) on his return to Test cricket on day one of the second Test at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Kohli was dismissed for a four-ball duck off Ajaz Patel’s bowling. After being trapped in front of the wickets, Kohli opted for DRS (Decision Review System). However, third umpire upheld the on-field umpire’s decision and thus Indian skipper was given out. Third umpire took time to give his decision as it appeared that the ball hit the bat and pad at the same time. But there was no conclusive evidence that ball hit the bat first and thus third umpire stuck with on-field umpire. India vs New Zealand Live Score Updates 2nd Test 2021 Day 1.
