Indian ODI and T20 skipper MS Dhoni has found fault with umpires using earpieces during international matches.
Dhoni’s outburst was the result of couple of errors that occurred during India’s T20 match against Pakistan in the ongoing Asia Cup.
First, Pakistan player Khurram Manzoor nicked an Ashish Nehra’s delivery but the umpire didn’t give him out as he didn’t hear the sound. Later, when India was chasing the total, Virat Kohli had an inside edge but still he was given out LBW as the umpire thought he didn’t nick.
Dhoni opined umpires are using only one year since they have an earpiece placed in the other ear. He alleged that earpieces are affecting the hearing of umpires and making them give wrong decisions which often turn the results of the matches upside down.
Fortunately, India won the T20 match against Pakistan despite the errors of umpires.
