#2 Poor Umpiring and Waste of review

Th
This was a complete waste of a review

India was in the driving seat till the 20th over, but in the third ball of 21st over of India's inning, Rashid Khan dismissed KL Rahul. Rahul challenged the Umpire's call after a long discussion with Dinesh Kartik.

But the review got wasted as Ball tracking showed three Reds. From that point in time, the game changed completely.

Dhoni was given out but the ball tracking showed it was a not out. Karthik also got out in the same manner.

If the review was not wasted then this could have saved both these batsmen and India could have easily chased down the target.

These two poor decisions also showed the questionable decisions made by the Umpires. Both these players should not have been given out and there was nothing that India could do.
