[VIDEO] DRS Drama at Edgbaston: Ben Stokes vs Umpire Over Yashasvi Jaiswal Review Controversy

[Cricket Warrior]

England captain Ben Stokes was involved in a heated exchange with the on-field umpire during Day 3 of the second Test on Friday, following a controversial DRS incident involving Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal.

The drama unfolded in the eighth over of India’s second innings when Jaiswal was struck on the pads by a delivery from Josh Tongue. England immediately appealed, and umpire Sharfuddoula raised his finger. After a brief discussion with his batting partner, Jaiswal opted for a review.

However, Stokes was visibly frustrated, arguing that Jaiswal had exceeded the 15-second time limit allowed to request a DRS. Despite his protest, the umpire allowed the review to proceed. Replays confirmed that the ball was indeed hitting the stumps—meaning Jaiswal should have been out.

Adding to the controversy, further footage appeared to support Stokes’ claim, showing that the Indian batter initiated the review after the timer had expired. The incident didn’t sit well with the Edgbaston crowd either, as loud boos echoed around the ground in response to the umpire’s decision.

Stokes was right on this occasion...no second thought

 

[Snowflake]

The split screen really makes that umpire look bad. And rightly so. Horrible decision.

 

[Devadwal]

Stokes was right on this occasion...no second thought

0 count whenever any team taking the review

 

[The Bald Eagle]

0 count whenever any team taking the review

It was after zero

 

[Devadwal]

It was after zero

Then umpire wrong but I saw zero on screen when jaiswal asked for DRS.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Umpire's fault. I don't think jaiswal watched the clock. They wasted a review in the process

 

[RidiculousMan]

Stokes was right. The DRS time duration is 15 seconds. The timer starts from 15. 15 to 1 is 15 seconds. The 0 means times up. That's why it is also in red color.

Umpire needs to be more vigilant in these matters.

 

[Savak]

BCCI and Indian players cant influence everything with their net worth. Stokes was right on this occasion.

Agree.

Umpire messed it up.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

umpire should have consulted the third umpire to verify whether Stokes' claim was correct or not as he couldn't accurately judge the timing of the review in real-time on the field.

 

[sweep_shot]

Expect Indian posters to defend the umpire now since decision went in India's favor.

 

[kingusama92]

100% mistake by the umpire.

Probably was too focused on Jaiswal and didn't look at the timer.

 

[AAli98]

Surprised BCCi never fiddled with ultra edge whilst they were arguing

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Can't blame Stokes here. The timer is there for a reason.

If Jaiswal needs tips for how to review quickly we can send him the expert

Recently in BGT, one of the Aussie batter took the review after the clock reached 0. The commentators were surprised the umpire allowed it but no one on the field raised any issues. It is just Stokes crying because they are way behind. As a batter you discuss with the non-striker and ask for review. You are not looking at the clock. The umpires need to make the call if it needs to be allowed or not. Let's see if Stokes is reprimanded like Pant was for arguing with the umpire. Stop bringing India/BCCI into everything, this has happened a lot in the past but just because Stokes made a huge deal this is being talked about. Mostly teams don't care if it is 1 or 2 seconds over the 15.

What a crybaby this Stokes.

 

[sweep_shot]

What a crybaby this Stokes.

Stokes was right.

15 seconds were over. There should've been no review after that.

 

[BDfanforever]

Oh I see that @Rajdeep @Devadwal favorite umpire is officiating in the India game again. Looks like he is involved in another "controversy."

 

[BouncerGuy]

LOL... Time was already over... There is no doubt here. Stokes is not a crybaby this time but some guys are from the opposite side by defending the umpire's decision...because it was a wrong call.

 

[Devadwal]

LOL... Time was already over... There is no doubt here.. Stokes is not a crybaby this time but some guys are from the oppostite side by defending the umpire's decision...because it was a wrong call.

Most of the indian fans don't defend that decison because it cost us a review. Lol It was Plumb. Btw umpire is from Bangladesh so this is understandable as they are only produce garbage- batsman , bowlers, umpire everything.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Ideally in such a situation they should have allowed Stokes to review the review made by Yashasvi Jaiswal.

We can call it a review within a review

 

[Hitman]

BCCI and Indian players cant influence everything with their net worth. Stokes was right on this occasion.

What has the Indian team got to do with the umpire's decision here? Did they try to intimidate the umpire?

 

[kron]

Stokes is right
Poor decision by ump

But India lost a review lol so if anything stokes should be happy

Having said that, stokes shouldn’t have barged right up to the umpire aggressively. That doesn’t look good.

Guess if an Asian player did it he would be fined. Stokes may get away with this act of belligerence somehow.

 

[RexRex]

Stokes the Gunda.

 

[mominsaigol]

What a crybaby this Stokes.

He did nothing wrong. Just reminded players the rules of the game

 

[mominsaigol]

Stokes the Gunda.

If this was an indian you would defend the decision.

 

[MenInG]

Stokes the Gunda.

Only if you allow him to be one.

Am sure Indians will give it back to him at some point.

 

[Devadwal]

Only if you allow him to be one.

Am sure Indians will give it back to him at some point.

Without Kohli, this indian team is not aggressive at all. Only siraj Miyan can give it back .

 

[Devadwal]

Now stokes sign the T single when clock shows 0 . Lol
