Abhishek Sharma was visibly upset after being given out following a DRS review during the fifth T20I between India and South Africa, walking off the field in frustration after the decision went against him.
The incident occurred when Corbin Bosch bowled Abhishek, who was adjudged caught behind by on-field umpire Virender Sharma despite no appeal from the South African players. India immediately opted for a review as the ball appeared to pass close to the bat.
UltraEdge showed a small spike, following which the third umpire asked for additional angles before eventually upholding the on-field call. The decision sparked debate, given the absence of an appeal and the marginal nature of the contact.
Abhishek, who had scored 34 off 21 balls, looked stunned by the verdict and was seen expressing his displeasure as he walked back to the pavilion. His reaction underlined the confusion surrounding the dismissal, which quickly became one of the major talking points of the match.
Despite the controversy, the decision stood, bringing an abrupt end to a fluent innings that had provided India with early momentum.
