ICC CWC 2019: 'Dhoni Review System' fails for the second time in this World Cup
XtraTime Web Desk: Indian cricket team missed a huge opportunity against England as they failed to take a review against English opener Jason Roy during their ICC World Cup 2019clsh in Birmingham on Sunday.
During the 11th over of the England innings, a delivery of Hardik Pandya kissed the gloves of Roy and went straight in the gloves of MS Dhoni down the leg side. However, umpire Aleem Dar of Pakistan failed to spot the edge and signaled a wide.
India captain Virat Kohli consulted Dhoni, who is always accurate with the Decision Review System (DRS). As the 15-second timer ticked by, Kohli went with Dhoni’s decision and opted not to review.

However, later, replays showed that Roy had edged the ball. To add insult to injury, Roy hit the next two balls of the over for a six and a four. When Roy received the reprieve from the umpire, he was on 20.
This was the second time at the World Cup 2019 that Dhoni had erred on DRS. Earlier, against Pakistan, he failed to help Kohli review a decision against Babar Azam when the ball had hit the pad first and then bat off Yuzvendra Chahal.
