<div style="text-align: justify; "><span style="font-size: 1rem;">It was a tense moment when the TV umpire, Langton Rusere, gave his verdict in favour of the bowler, Shadab Khan, after Shakib Al Hasan's taking a review. The Bangladesh captain was stunned by the decision of the third umpire, as he seemed to believe that the ball hit his bat first after it touched his left-leg shoe. Now the question remains whether the TV umpire got it right when giving Shakib Al Hasan out in the crucial BAN vs PAK T20 World Cup match in Adelaide.</span><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">Leg-spinner Shadab Khan immediately appealed for the lbw wicket, and the on-field umpire gave the decision in favour of the bowler. Shakib Al Hasan, who just came at the crease after the departure of Soumya Sarkar in the previous ball, made an attempt to guide the ball in the leg side region for runs. However, he failed to connect the ball properly and lost his wicket to Shadab.</div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">In naked eyes, it seemed the ball might have touched Shakib's bat before it hit his front leg. That's why Shakib was a bit baffled by the decision of the TV umpire. It was a close call, and the umpire eventually gave the decision in favour of the fielding side.</div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">Normally, if there is any confusion about making a decision, the umpire gives the benefit of the doubt to the batting side. So, the umpire may have made a wrong call by giving Shakib Al Hasan out on this occasion in a vital BAN vs PAK T20 World Cup contest.
