Pink-ball Test: Drama in Motera as 3rd umpire overrules Ben Stokes catch, Virat Kohli, Joe Root reacts

England's Ben Stokes stirred up a controversy when his catch was ruled out in the third Test against India at the newly renamed Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The instance happened at the start of India's first innings when Shubman Gill was on strike, facing veteran Stuart Broad under lights.

Broad's delivery caught Gill's edge and flew low towards Stokes



in the slips. The on-field umpire gave out as the soft-signal but the TV umpire was quick to spot that the ball had touched the ground before Stokes completed the catch.

Stokes and skipper Root were also left amused with the TV Umpire's decision. Root shook his head in disbelief. India skipper Virat Kohli, on the other hand, was surprised at England's appeal.
