Registering his title within the historical past books, Usman Khawaja created a mountain of runs as he hit 180 runs within the first innings of the 4th Test towards India in Ahmedabad. The Australian batter pissed off Indian bowers for as many as 5 periods earlier than Axar Patel lastly received the higher of him. But, it wasn’t all easy because the hosts needed to make use of the DRS to eliminate Khawaja because the line-umpire’s resolution on the LBW enchantment was within the favour of the Australian batter.

It was the 147th over of the innings, with Australia already previous the 400-run mark. The first supply of the over hit Khawaja above the pad, and it is most likely the peak of the ball that made the umpire give the choice within the favour of the batter.

However, India determined to assessment the decision and the end result was three reds. The ball was firmly hitting the leg-stump, prompting the third umpire to provide it out. The complete Indian group was left stunned that the choice went in its favour, with Virat Kohli’s response most likely summing up how massive that dismissal was for the hosts.
