5 controversial moments at Asia Cup 2016

Furious Shakib hit the stumps with his bat

#4 Thisara Perera\'s controversial stumping

The replays clearly showed that Perrera made his ground

The umpiring stooped to a certain low in the game between India and Sri Lanka. The incident occurred in the 19th over of the Sri Lankan inning when Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin bowled a wide delivery outside off stump to fox Thisara Perera who was coming down the track. Perera missed the ball and Dhoni as usual took the bails off in lightning fast speed.

The leg-umpire Shozab Raza didn’t even refer to the third umpire and gave Perera out though the replays clearly showed that he had already made his ground.

It was a horrible call from the umpire as he had the option to refer it to third umpire. He didn’t and Perera paid the price.

It’s bemusing that when you have technology at your disposal but you are not using it. Was it an act of bravado or what? Only the umpire can tell that.
