India star reminds umpires of KL Rahul’s Perth dismissal after Mitchell Marsh survives similar DRS [WATCH]

The controversial decision triggered Virat Kohli to remind umpires about the Perth incident.

India and Australia are currently locking horns in the ongoing second Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) Test in Adelaide. After getting bundled out for 180 in the first innings, India needed their bowlers to deliver.

Jasprit Bumrah was right on the money as he got two breakthroughs early on Day 2 and Nitish Kumar Reddy also got one scalp to reduce the Aussies to 168 for 4. The hosts needed a partnership in the middle while India looked to capitalise on the momentum.

It was then, that a controversial umpiring decision forced star India batter Virat Kohli to remind the umpires about an incident from the series opener in Perth.

On the third ball of the 58th over, Marsh tried to attack Ashwin by coming down the ground but got trapped lbw. With the on field umpires turning down the appeal, India skipper Rohit Sharma opted for a DRS.
