WATCH – Poor umpiring call surprises Yusuf Pathan during Road Safety World Series

The ongoing Road Safety World Series has been producing an excellent brand of cricket with an opportunity for both retired legends to play the sport and for fans to watch their idols roll back the years with their performances. The Indian Legends team has been going well and have sealed a spot in the semi-final of the tournament already thanks to a consistent run that saw them lose only to England.

In the recently concluded match against South Africa, the Indian batters came up with a scintillating show that saw both Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh get fifties. Sachin scored 60 off 37 balls while Yuvraj applied the finishing touches with a quick-fire knock that also saw him hit Zander de Bruyn for four sixes in a row in an over. Subramaniam Badrinath contributed with a good knock as well while Yusuf Pathan was tidy with his bowling.

During the second innings, while South Africa were chasing a big target, their openers gave them a good start which led to them having a half-chance of pulling off a fantastic chase. However, Yusuf Pathan derailed their chase with quick wickets by picking up three wickets. His third wicket was that of Zander de Bruyn who endured a horror show on the day failing with both bat and ball.

Zander de Bruyn went for a slog down the legside but completely missed the delivery. India went for a half-hearted appeal and the ball clearly looked to be going down the legside. However, the umpire gave it as out and Yusuf Pathan couldn’t half-believe it as he seemed to stifle laughter at the decision. Replays showed later that the ball on impact was umpire’s call and the wickets were clearly missing by a long distance.
