Virat Kohli’s argument stemmed from his stance ahead of the crease, causing an increase in his height.

However, the third umpire upheld the on-field decision, deeming the ball’s delivery legal.

Ongoing Debate

Kohli’s animated reaction, both on the field and in the dugout, coupled with commentary opinions and social media discussions, intensified the controversy surrounding his dismissal. Many voiced their support for Kohli’s viewpoint, suggesting that he was unfairly adjudged out, further fueling the debate over the contentious decision.
