Cricketers and Fans React to KL Rahul Dismissal

Cricketers and Fans React to KL Rahul Dismissal: Indian keeper-batter KL Rahul was dismissed by a controversial decision by the third umpire on the first day of the Australia vs India Border-Gavasker Trophy 2024-25.

KL whose bat was visibly not touching the ball was given not-out by the on-field umpire. But the third umpire, despite having much visual evidence to overturn the decision of the on-field umpire, reversed the call and gave an out. In the reply, it was clear that it was Rahul’s pad that had touched the bat, not the ball.

Cricketers and Fans React to KL Rahul Dismissal

Former cricketers and fans expressed their displeasure on social media, especially on Umpirires hurry to over tune an original decision without having any conclusive evidence. Let’s look into some social media reactions

Wasim Jaffer: Third umpire asked for another angle which wasn’t provided. I’d assume he’d only ask for another angle if he wasn’t sure. Then if he wasn’t sure, why did he overturn the on field not out call? Poor use of technology and proper protocol not followed. KL hard done by. #AUSWIND

Robin Uthappa: How a third umpire makes a decision without accessing all angles!! Poor!! Just Piss poor!! #BGT2025

Murali Karthik: Am still trying to figure this…the claim was we have million cameras when the test match started & just when u need the other cameras they are conveniently unavailable for KL’s decision..it was such a big spike for maybe a feather if there was any… surprising #justsaying

Harsha Bhogle: “You don’t have to rush a decision when you have so many angles to review. Especially if you are overturning the on-field umpire’s call.

Many fans went mad on twitter over the decision

@iam_FatBatman: “It’s hard to digest that KL Rahul has been wrongly given out.

@academy_dinda: “Most of the days KL Rahul can’t bat and on the days KL look solid the umpires don’t let him bat

Vipintiwari952: “What the hell, that’s not out! These umpires need to get their heads checked. KL Rahul won’t be happy; he was looking amazing out there!
