CricketVirat Kohli furious at run-out decision during warm-up game at SCG

Virat Kohli was left fuming after the square-leg umpire turned down what looked like a very good appeal for a run-out during India’s warm-up match against Cricket Australia XI at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

CA XI were responding to India’s 358 and had got off to a good start thanks to openers D’Arcy Short and Max Bryant.

India soon saw a chance to get their first breakthrough and some of their fielders were left agitated when a loud appeal was turned down. To make matters worse, there were no cameras and no scope for the third umpire to take a call.
In the 10th over of the CA XI innings, Bryant flicked an Umesh Yadav delivery through the mid-wicket region and pushed hard for three after comfortably completing two runs. However, the fielder picked up the ball and threw it back to Umesh who in turn got a direct hit at the striker’s end.

The Indians went up in appeal but the square leg umpire turned the appeal down… Kohli asked the umpire to refer it to the third umpire but there was no provision for it.

Replays suggested it was a close call.

Bryant and Short added 114 for the first wicket and India broke through in the 19th over when R Ashwin snared Bryant for 62. His 65-ball knock was studded with 9 fours and 1 six.

Meanwhile, Short scored 74 off 91 balls on what was a tough day for India’s bowlers. CA XI went to stumps at 356/6, two runs behind India’s first innings score.
