ICC confirms Dhoni was wrongly given out
Dubai: The ICC on Thursday confirmed that an error by the host broadcaster during first day's play in the second Test between the West Indies and India in Barbados led to the wrong replay being shown to the third umpire that caused Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's dismissal.
During India's innings, India captain Dhoni was out caught at mid-on off the bowling of Fidel Edwards.
On-field umpire Ian Gould suspected that the delivery may have been a no-ball, so as per the correct protocols he sought confirmation from the third umpire Gregory Brathwaite.
But the delivery Brathwaite was shown by the host broadcaster was legitimate and hence, Dhoni was given out.
However, it was subsequently established that Brathwaite had been shown the wrong replay and that the delivery that led to Dhoni's dismissal should indeed have been called a no-ball.
