IND vs WI | I understand why Virat was angry about Jadeja's run-out - Simon Doull

Simon Doull understands why Virat Kohli was angry about the decision being made on Jadeja's reun-out as it was not fair for a West Indies player to tell from the dressing room to go for a review. Kohli was pretty vocal about this brain-fade moment in the post-match presentation ceremony.

Indian skipper Virat Kohli is strictly against brain-fades in which the team-mates from the dressing room help the players on the field to decide whether to take a review or not. A similar thing had happened when Australia toured India back in 2017 and when Steve Smith asked his mates from the dressing room whether to go for the review.

Kohli was absolutely angry again when Ravindra Jadeja who was run out but the decision was not sent to the third umpire before, was given out after a certain West Indies player saw the run-out replay on television and gestured it to the players on the field to urge the umpires to go for a review upstairs. Following the decision, former Kiwi player Simon Doull debated about the decision in the post-match chat show on Cricbuzz. 

" I understand why Virat was angry with the decision. I thought the players saw it (Jadeja's run-out) on the big screen but a West Indies layer saw it on the television. So he (Kohli) is right (to be angry)," said Simon Doull.

Although Doull believes that the right decision was made as Jadeja was short of his crease, he believes that the way in which things panned out were certainly not right.

" I again maintain that the right decision was made but again the way to which they got it was wrong," Doull asserted.
