Ind Vs Nz Live: Early Scare for India! Massive LBW Appeal Against Sanju Samson
Massive drama in the very first over! Matt Henry hit the pads of Sanju Samson and the entire New Zealand team went up in a deafening appeal for LBW. The umpire, however, remained unmoved and shook his head.
⚖️ The Decision:
After a quick consultation with his bowler and keeper, skipper Mitchell Santner wisely decided not to take the review. Replays immediately confirmed why: there was a clear inside edge before the ball thudded into the pads.
A lucky escape for Samson? Perhaps, but a brilliant piece of captaincy by Santner to save the review so early in the innings. The pressure is well and truly on as Henry is extracting genuine bounce and movement!
