During India vs Australia, fourth Test match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the star Indian batter Virat Kohli made a hilarious comment on umpire Nitin Menon on the fifth day of the match.
On the final day of the Test match, India was having difficulty in taking a wicket due to the flat pitch. Australia had smoothly reached 71 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in the 35th over when the Indian team appealed for an lbw against the left-handed batsman Travis Head.
The appeal for the LBW was denied by Nitin Menon and after that Rohit Sharma and the company got a review that later did not go in favor of India. The umpire stood on his decision and Travis Head survived the review.
In all this chaos of review and appeal, Virat Kohli was seen whispering, “Main hota toh out hota” (If it was me, it would have been out).
Umpire Menon acknowledged the decision by responding with a thumbs-up signal, which was captured on video. This interesting incident has gained widespread attention on social media platforms and it is being widely circulated on the internet.
India has qualified for the final of the ICC Test Championship after New Zealand defeated Sri Lanka by two wickets at Hagley Oval, Christchurch.
