IND vs NZ: "Poor Umpiring"- Twitter Reacts After Hardik Pandya's Controversial Out Decision In The 1st ODI Against New Zealand

Indian Cricket Team had won the toss & elected to bat first. The Men in Blue had a shaky start as they lost their 2-star batters Rohit Sharma & Virat Kohli as the duo was dismissed within 16 overs of the match. New Zealand bowlers bowled impeccable line & length.

Shubman Gill, the dashing right-handed batter struck his consecutive century and looked like a man on a mission. The batter was in sublime touch where he used to rotate the strike on a consistent basis. It won’t be wrong to say that Shubman Gill has sealed the spot in the 2023 World Cup.

At the end of 39 overs, India’s score was 246-4 where. Daryll Mitchell was given the 40th over, and on the 4th ball of the over, Hardik Pandya missed the ball and bails went off where astonishingly the ball didn’t touch the bails. The 3rd umpire gave out which astounded everyone as this was a rare sight of seeing a batter getting out like this.

During the replay, there was no contact between the gloves and the bails. New Zealand got a huge wicket from Hardik Pandya as the flamboyant all-rounder was set and was looking threatening where he was dismissed on 28 runs in 38 balls where he struck 3 fours.

That was not out,Clearly. Hardik was robbed there?Big blunder. It was clear to naked eyes. Watch the ball's, trajector,balls passed over the stumps,into keepers hands & it was gloves on the line touching bells,it should have a been a no ball as per rules.#INDvsNZ #CricketTwitter pic.twitter.com/838jrsIwwP
