English Batter Wastes Review During 3rd ODI
Indian Cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar during the third ODI between India and England lashed out at England batter Tom Banton for wasting a review. Tom Banton was playing his first match during England's tour of India and was going well as he had scored 38 off 40 balls.
He was eventually beaten and caught behind off a delivery from Kuldeep Yadav. Tom Banton following this took a review but the review did not go his way and it showed that the ball had hit his bat and the bat had not touched the grounds or his pad. He was given out.

"Are you serious? Taking a review when you nick the ball, I mean, how can a batter not know that he has nicked the ball and particularly the batter not hit the bat or the ground? This is international cricket. This is not school cricket. You might sometimes not know, but this is international cricket. It makes less sense because he went over to the non-striker to consult," said Sunil Gavaskar as he went off on Tom Banton regarding the review.
