Former India Cricketer Condemns Paul Reiffel For Biased Umpiring In ENG vs IND 3rd Test at Lord’s

Ashish Satyam

As of now, the five-match Test series of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy is standing at 1-1. 

During the ENG vs IND 3rd match, Umpire Paul Reiffel was heavily castigated by the fans on Day 4 of the Lord’s Test after a chain of poor decisions. Reiffel, who is one of the top umpires in the international circuit, made a lot of poor judgments, especially against the Indian pacers. Later, it included the wicket of India captain, Shubman Gill, on the penultimate day of the Test match. Former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin also slammed the veteran umpire after he got things wrong in a game that is standing on a knife’s edge heading into the final day on Monday.

“My experience with Paul Reiffel… I want to talk to him. I am not saying that I should tell him that give it out. Whenever India bowls, he always feels it’s not out. Whenever India bats, he always feels it’s out. If it’s not against India but against all teams, then ICC has to see towards it,” Ashwin said on his YouTube channel, Ash ki Baat.

A total of 14 wickets tumbled on Day 4 of the third Test. As of now, the five-match Test series of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy is standing at 1-1.

Ravichandran Ashwin Slams Umpire Paul Reiffel

It all started when Reiffel rejected the appeal of India pacer Mohammad Siraj against England batter Joe Root. The DRS showed that the ball hit the leg stump, but Root survived on the back of a poor call by the umpire. Siraj looked disappointed and ended up giving a death stare to the Reiffel. 

Reiffel continued his poor umpiring, giving Gill out on the overpitched delivery from Brydon Carse, which went straight to the wicket-keeper’s gloves. Gill took a DRS, and it appeared that there was a massive gap between the ball and the bat. Most of the fans and cricket pundits opined that it was biased umpiring from Reiffel.

Commenting on the same, Ashwin added, “I own a car, a sedan, which I can park through the gap between the bat and ball. It’s clear it was not out. But this is not the first time. My father was watching the match with me. And he told me, ‘whenever Paul Reiffel comes, India will not win.’ Even Mike Atherton and Nasser Hussain said the umpires could have acted a bit firm with players taking time”.

Talking about the England vs India third Test that is panning out at the iconic Lord’s, the host nation won the toss and opted to bat first. On the back of Joe Root’s century, the English side posted a total of 387 runs. Jasprit Bumrah starred with the ball for India, taking five wickets. 

In reply, the Indian team also ended their innings at 387 runs, kudos to KL Rahul’s century and Rishabh Pant’s 75-run knock. Starting from scratch, the English side managed to post a score of 192 runs, giving the Indian team a target of 193 runs. The Indian team ended the fourth day on the scoreline of 58/4 with KL Rahul still hustling in the middle.
