Joe Root was disappointed after being given out LBW in the second innings of the fourth Test in Ranchi. Joe Root (Image Credit- Twitter X) Currently a five-match Test series is being played between India and England. So, after English player Joe Root was out LBW in the fourth Test match of this series, there was a lot of discussion about Hawk-Eye and Decision Review System (DRS). Let us tell you that in this Test match held in Ranchi, in the 17th over of England’s second innings, Root missed one of Ashwin’s balls, on which Ashwin appealed, but this appeal was rejected by on-field umpire Kumar Dharmasena. However, after this, on Ashwin’s appeal, captain Rohit took DRS review and in Hawk Eye it was found that some part of the ball was hitting the stump along with the line of the wicket. So after this the on-field umpire’s decision was changed, and Root was given out. So, after the end of this match, England captain Ben Stokes was seen being very vocal about the umpire’s call in DRS and in the cricket world, Hawk-Eye, the technology that helps the third umpire in DRS, got embroiled in a lot of controversies. However, now amidst all this, the creator of this technology, Paul Hawkins, has given a big statement. Paul Hawkins gave a big statement regarding Hawk-Eye Let us tell you that amidst these discussions, while talking on ‘The Analyst’ podcast, Hawkins said – To get an accurate decision, first of all you measure the width of the stump on every day of Test cricket, and then whether the ball is in line or not. After this a straight line is formed. This line is very important (which is outside the route). In tennis sometimes you have zero millimeter margin in or out of the line. But there is a rule in tennis that it is not given out until zero margin is achieved. Tennis we just mark bounce marks for this. But only after showing zero millimeter as 1 millimeter, we will be able to show the impact to the audience. It may sound like a bit of a presentation, but it makes a lot of things clear to the audience. If the ball had not come out after falling it would have been more obvious on TV. So you can see more clearly above the line, which automatically happens when the ball is pitched outside the leg stump. We gave the correct answer as per the rules. But after all this we have an opportunity to improve our presentation and things related to it.

KL Rahul himself would like that he should recover completely as soon as possible and return to the Indian team soon. According to the report, KL Rahul has left for London to meet a specialist doctor for Quadriceps injury. If Rahul recovers at the right time, then the team management can include him in the team in place of Rajat Patidar in the fifth test. If KL Rahul is not able to recover at the right time, then only Rajat Patidar can be seen batting in the middle order. Let us tell you, Rajat Patidar has so far failed to perform well in his international Test cricket career. He has scored 63 runs in 6 innings in this series. According to the report of Times of India, the team management does not want to give further opportunities to Rajat Patidar and they believe that the young batsman should play for Madhya Pradesh in the semi-finals of Ranji Trophy starting from March 2. BCCI source made a big disclosure According to Times of India, the source said, ‘The team management wants Rajat Patidar to play in the semi-finals of Ranji Trophy and get back in form. But it depends on Rahul’s availability. If Rahul remains unavailable then he may be asked to stay in the team. If Devdutt Padikkal makes his debut in the last test, then the team management will need an additional batsman for Concussion Substitute. The National Cricket Academy had declared KL Rahul fit but despite that the experienced wicketkeeper batsman was having pain in his quadriceps. This is the reason why KL Rahul has been sent to London.
