India opener Rohit Sharma's dismissal against the West Indies on Thursday has sparked quite a flutter on social media. The entire episode has also raised questions on the precision of the Decision Review System (DRS).


India limited-overs deputy Rohit was looking in good touch (on 18 off 22 balls) when a Kemar Roach delivery pitched on a good length and jagged back sharply, kissing what the Windies thought was the inside edge of Rohit's bat.

The onfield umpire turned down the appeal, but Jason Holder and boys decided to review it. The third umpire overturned the umpire's decision and Rohit was adjudged to have nicked the ball as he left a gap between bad and pad, with Roach and the Windies celebrating.



The snickometer did show movement, but it was clearly a decision that could have gone either way. On the other hand, the verdict left Rohit flabbergasted as he walked off shaking his head.

This incident not only pointed fingers at DRS and its judgment but people also started trolling the third umpire Michael Gough for his decision.

Here are some of the reactions:
