India vs Sri Lanka: Dilruwan Perera Does A Steve Smith As New DRS Controversy Erupts At Eden Gardens

in india •  7 years ago 

Dilruwan Perera, who was walking back to the pavilion after being given out, suddenly turned around to review the decision Steve Smith's 'brain fade' moment was revisited on Sunday during the opening Test between India and Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The incident took place when Sri Lankan batsman Dilruwan Perera was given out LBW by the umpire in the 57th over. After receiving no positive signal from non-striker Rangana Herath, Perera turned around and was walking back when he suddenly made a u-turn and asked for the DRS (Decision Review System). It turned out to be an excellent review as replays showed that the impact was marginally outside the off-stump. However, who really made the decision to review that call?
Immediately after the decision was overturned, TV commentator Simon Doull started showing his displeasure. The New Zealander was not too happy with Dilruwan's sudden u-turn and said, "he's got to go, got to go".
Soon after that replays showed that two hands popped up from the dressing room of Sri Lanka, following which Dilruwan immediately turned and reviewed the decision.
