IND vs AFG: DRS drama created ruckus, Mohammad Salim Safi fought with fellow players in the dugout after being out.

Mohammad Saleem Safi: In the only test match played between India and Afghanistan, Team India performed brilliantly and achieved a big victory by an innings and 300 runs. In this match, India maintained its strong hold from the beginning and did not give the visiting team a chance to make a comeback. Another DRS mistake of Afghanistan has become a topic of discussion on the third day of this match. This time batsman Mohammad Salim Safi returned to the pavilion without taking a review after losing his wicket. His mistake cost the team dearly.

India followed on

In fact, the Indian team batted brilliantly in the first innings and scored 564 runs losing 8 wickets. In reply, Afghanistan team could score only 152 runs in the first innings. In this way, the Indian team achieved a lead of 412 runs, after which captain Shubman Gill decided to follow on. However, even before the end of Afghanistan’s first innings, DRS drama was seen, which changed the entire atmosphere of the match.

Mohammad Salim Safi returned to the pavilion without taking review

During Afghanistan’s innings, Indian spin all-rounder Manav Suthar was bowling in the 58th over and Mohammad Salim Safi was at the crease. A ball from this over hit Safi’s pad and the umpire gave the batsman out LBW without any delay. At first it seemed as if Salim was considering taking review, but the next moment he went towards the pavilion.

When ball-tracking came to light just minutes after Salim was out, there was disappointment in the Afghanistan camp. Replays clearly showed that this ball was pitched outside the leg stump and according to the rules, in such a situation the batsman remains not out. If Safi had taken DRS during that time, the umpire would have had to change his decision and he would have been not out.
