#6.Technology surprises Usman Khawaja in 2013 at Manchester
To those who think technology can wipe out all mistakes from cricket, Usman Khawaja's dismissal against England in the Manchester Test in 2013 is a must-watch.
The left-hand batsman tried an expensive drive against Graeme Swann but missed it completely thanks to the massive turn. However, the English fielders went up in joy as there was a sound and the umpire too agreed to the home team and raised his finger.
Without losing any time, Khawaja sought help from the third umpire and asked for a review. The replays indicated that there was space between the bat and the ball and the sound came before the ball reached the bat. The replays suggested that the bat hit the pad and the hotspot also failed to recognize any sound.
The evidence favoured the batsman but Kumar Dharmasena, the third umpire, decided to surprise everyone and asked the on-field umpire to uphold his decision.
In Khwaja's case, even technology failed to correct the wrong decision.
