During the match between India and Pakistan, there were many decisions that went against the former, including Virat Kohli’s leg-before, which was an appalling decision.
This was the not the only time when the Indian team was at the receiving end. Earlier, Pakistan opener Khurram Manzoor has edged one to MS Dhoni, but umpire failed to see a big deflection.
In the post-match press conference, captain Dhoni came up with an interesting observation about the gadgets that umpires are carrying nowadays on the field.
The Indian captain pointed out at the earpieces that umpires wear, which effectively prevent them from hearing faint edges, especially in noisy conditions.
“One thing that should certainly be done is all the umpires have a walkie-talkie and an earpiece in the ear… Effectively, it means they are all umpiring with just one ear,” Dhoni pointed out.
“Because, one ear is stuffed with the earpiece… So they can’t hear and when it’s so loud; I think it’s a very difficult job. So definitely they need to consider this thing.”
“At least have both ears around, no point having an earpiece around, when you know when a bowler is bowling, you don’t use the earpiece. So at least use the ear to listen to a lot of things that may happen on the field.”
