The incident occurred in the 48th over of Baroda’s second innings when all-rounder Yusuf Pathan was adjudged out for bat-and-pad catch to short-leg. Pathan was unhappy with the decision and refused to walk off. Ultimately Mumbai skipper Ajinkya Rahane had to get involved to make him understand the situation before the 37-year-old walked back to the pavilion shaking his head in disagreement. Replays showed that the ball had actually hit the pads and did not find the edge of the bat. Since there is no Decision Review System (DRS) in first-class cricket games in India, Pathan could not use the review system to save his wicket.
