IND v ENG 2021: Shane Warne jokes after England take a horrendous DRS on Day 3

Warne was surprised to see England calling for a DRS despite clear not-out.

England cricket team took a bizarre DRS during India's second innings on Day 3. The decision to review a catch appeal was so bad that former Australia cricketer Shane Warne ended up joking about it on Twitter.

The incident happened in the 48th over, when R Ashwin was facing part-timer Dan Lawrence. The delivery was going down the leg side and there was a gap between bat and pad, but something convinced England captain Joe Root that it was a wicket.

Root decided to go for a DRS and it turned out to be one of the horrendous review calls ever. On-field umpire Nitin Menon’s decision to call it not out was retained by the third umpire.

"Was that review in the grand final of worst reviews ever ? ????????????", tweeted Warne after the DRS.

Ashwin not only troubled the Englishmen with the ball by picking up a fifer, but he also scored a half-century with the bat in the second innings. He and Virat Kohli added 96 runs before the latter got out to Moeen Ali.
