Virat Kohli ignores Dhoni, goes for the review and fails miserably

Written by Vipin Darwade

MS Dhoni is world famous for his stamp of authority on the field, especially when he is behind the stumps with his wicket-keeping gloves on. If Dhoni goes for a review, even the biggest Pundits of the cricket agrees that the batsman is out. However, whenever Virat Kohli asks for a review despite Dhoni’s denial, the final decision doesn’t fall in India’s favour.

Same incident happened during the 2nd T20I between Indian and New Zealand in Rajkot on November 4.
during the 12th over when wrist spinner Yuzvendra Chahal delivered a slower ball to which Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson went down on his knees to play a sweep shot. He missed the shot while the ball lobbed off his fore-arm, went up in the air and was caught by MS Dhoni. After grabbing the ball, Dhoni didn’t suggest to go for a review.

however, Kohli went for it.
Third umpire Shamsuddin had several views on the TV replays and asked the on-field umpires to ‘stay with your decision’.
