The Hawk-Eye system that measures no-balls for height came into play here when Kohli was dismissed for a seven-ball 18 during RCB바카라s chase of 223 against the Kolkata Knight Riders.
바카라It was crazy, rules are rules. Virat and myself thought that the ball was higher than the waist (during Kohli's dismissal). I guess they measured it from the popping crease, one team thinks it's high, the other doesn't. That's how the game goes at times,바카라 Du Plessis said during the post-match presentation ceremony.
The delivery, which seemed to be dipping on the batter, was just above the waist of Kohli when he made contact with the ball.
The star batter was standing just outside the crease at that moment.
Then TV umpire Michael Gough checked for the height and as per the Hawk-Eye tracking, the ball would have passed Kohli바카라s waist at a height of 0.92 meter had he was standing and upright at the crease.
In that position, Kohli바카라s waist was measured at 1.04 meters, which meant the ball would have travelled past below the batter바카라s waistline if he was standing inside the crease.
In that case, this would have been a legal delivery and the Gough had to take call based on the available height reference.
However, Kohli was not having none of it as he left the field an agitated man after having an animated discussion with the on-field umpire. The frustrated Kohli knocked the waste-bin located near away team dressing room in anger.
