Former Indian batsman Akash Chopra pointed to another DRS flaw after Rishabh Pant was dismissed in the second ODI between India and England. Pant tried to reverse-scoop a yorker from Tom Curren, but was only able to edge it over his pad, moving the ball away from the boundary rope. However, the England players felt that Pant was trapped in LBW and he appealed and the umpire agreed and raised his finger. Pant immediately reviewed, and Ripley confirmed the inside edge.
However, it was considered a dot ball, and not four runs to Pant, as the ball is considered dead if the umpire considers it out.
According to MCC laws, the ball “goes dead” when a batsman is dismissed. The ball will be considered out immediately after the incident, causing it to be out. “
“Therefore, Pant lost by 4 runs due to a superb umpiring error. Repeating this for the 101010364th time – what if 2 wins were needed with the team batting the final ball of the World Cup final ??? Think think…. ”Aakash Chopra tweeted.

Pant may have been denied four runs, but he scored 77 runs in 40 balls to reach India total of 336/6.
Playing for the injured Shreyas Iyer, Pant made the most of his chance to score his second ODI half-century.
He surpassed his previous highest score in the format of 71, as he kept aside England’s bowling attack.
