During the second ODI at Adelaide Oval, Rohit Sharma played a scintillating innings, scoring a crucial 73 runs off 97 balls, including two sixes and seven fours. However, his innings also sparked controversy when former Australian cricketer Mark Waugh questioned a DRS decision that saw Rohit narrowly escape dismissal.

The DRS Incident

In the sixth over of India’s innings, Australian bowler Josh Hazlewood delivered a good-length ball outside off stump. Rohit attempted a big shot but missed, and the ball struck his pads. The Australian team appealed for LBW, but the on-field umpire did not raise his finger.

Australia opted for a DRS review, but Ultra Edge revealed a faint inside edge before the ball hit Rohit’s pads, overturning the appeal. Mark Waugh, commentating live, disagreed with the technology, saying:
"There's no way it could have been an inside edge."

Rohit Sharma Shines

Despite the drama, Rohit played a match-winning knock, sharing a century partnership with Shreyas Iyer for the third wicket. His innings helped India stabilize after early setbacks. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli was dismissed for a duck, repeating his scoreless outing from the Perth ODI.

India vs Australia Drama Continues

Matches between India and Australia are always packed with excitement and controversies, and this DRS incident added another chapter to their storied rivalry. Fans witnessed not only stellar batting but also heated debates over umpiring and technology decisions, making the Adelaide ODI a memorable encounter.
