Asked Thakur to go out
After this, the field umpire asked Thakur to go out and called Rahane again to bat. The umpires told Rahane that they had asked the Mumbai captain to stay, but Rahane had not heard this.
What do the rules say?
According to the rule, if the umpire feels that the batsman leaves the ground without being out, he can call him back and call the ball a dead ball. For this reason, the umpires called Rahane again. However, Rahane could not last long and in the next over, Paras Dogra took his brilliant catch. After this whole case, questions have been raised again on umpiring in domestic cricket.
