“Don’t Fool People’: India Great’s Damning Charge On DRS After Pakistan vs South Africa Cricket World Cup Game | Cricket News

Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh went on rant after multiple controversies hit the Cricket World Cup 2023 match between Pakistan and South Africa on Friday. Both Pakistan and South Africa were on the receiving end of some controversial calls by the technology. While South Africa batter Rassie van der Dussen was adjudged LBW due to a DRS glitch, his teammate Tabraiz Shamsi survived a similar dismissal due to the umpire’s call. Harbhajan asked for more consistency in such decisions, adding that the officials should either completely rely on technology or stick with the umpire’s call.

Reacting to an old video of former England captain Nasser Hussain defending the technology, Harbhajan urged the ICC not to fool people who are madly in love with the sport.

“Paid to talk for tech to point out tech is correct .he’s suggesting tech is correct @imVkohli is not  Coz tech should have paid the broadcaster to point out how essential is tech .. Ok if the tech is correct go along with tech y do u want umpires to stay to the their very own selections ? Utterly nonsense .. use 1 tech or umpire .. do not make folks idiot who love this sport blindly,” Harbhajan posted on X (former Twitter).

Paid to speak for tech to show tech is right .he is suggesting tech is right @imVkohli isn’t Coz tech must have paid the broadcaster to show how important is tech .. Ok if the tech is right go with tech y do u need umpires to stick to the their own decisions ? Utterly nonsense… https://t.co/7Ai0FaqY8F

South African skipper Temba Bavuma admitted his team was lucky after pulling off a one wicket win over Pakistan.

“I do suppose we may have proven much more of a medical show in going about that run chase. I believe we did have luck on our facet. We did give them alternatives to get into the sport,” Bavuma was quoted as saying by AFP.
