5 Talking Points from India's 237-run win over West Indies in the third Test

Umpiring howlers don't cost India

The merits and demerits of India's decision to not agree to use the Decision Referral System is something that can be spoken about all day. At times, their stubborn refusal to use technology has cost them dear and India have had to accept that it is all part of the deal and deal with it.

But what isn't part of the package is howlers going against them by umpires. On the final day when India were on the offensive and looking for quick runs to set a target for the hosts, they were the victims of not one but two decisions that didn't go their way. If Rohit Sharma doesn't get another chance in this series, he will certainly not be pleased with how he was given out lbw when he had nicked the second ball of the final day.

Even if Rohit's dismissal is forgiven for being one of those things, the no ball from which Wriddhiman Saha was out certainly cannot be excused. The amount of times that the umpires check for a no ball is simply ludicrous and the fact that they decided not to when a wicket was taken indicates a level of hypocrisy that not many will understand. While Kohli would have been seething at both decisions, he will however be content with the fact that despite that India managed to win the game.
