Hardik Pandya experienced a controversial dismissal in the first ODI of the three-match series against New Zealand. The umpires who gave Hardik out, could have called that ball ‘no’ if he wanted. Because the action replay showed, the wicketkeeper’s gloves were in front of the wicket when the ball was delivered. Also, it can be seen that the ball did not touch the bat and the stamp. Hardik’s wife has also expressed anger about this dismissal.

Many in the field were surprised to see Hardik’s out. However, it was only the Kiwi cricketers who celebrated after getting wicket as opponents. The discussion about this wrong decision of the umpire did not stop even after the match. From experts to common cricket fans, many feel that the Indian all-rounder was a victim of a wrong decision by the umpires. So, the question arises in the cricket world, how is it out?

Meanwhile, his wife Natasha Stankovic also expressed anger over Hardik’s controversial dismissal. She published two pictures of the dismissal on her official Instagram. In the caption of the photo, Stankovic wrote, “The ball did not make any contact with Hardik’s bat. Also, the ball did not hit the stumps. So why exactly did the umpires give Hardik out?”

Ravi Shastri also expressed surprise about Hardik’s out. At that time, this former Indian cricketer was in the commentary room with a microphone. When Hardik leaves the field shaking his head, Shastri was seen talking in a surprised tone. Hardik also regretted such a wrong decision of the umpire at the crucial moment of the match. A clear impression was seen on his face.

But the interesting thing is that Ishan Kishan tried to avenge Hardik’s out in that match. But the Indian wicketkeeper failed in that attempt. When Tom Latham was batting in New Zealand’s innings, Keeshan dropped the ball on a glove touch during a delivery. Although the umpire did not notice the matter well, Latham was given not out with the help of the third umpire. But above all, Hardik’s controversial out in the discussion.
