Controversy hit India vs West Indies match when Rohit Sharma was given out caught behind off the bowling of Kemar Roach.  West Indies wicketkeeper Shai Hope caught the ball and appealed. The on-field umpire was not interested in the appeal and ruled the decision not-out. Not convinced, the West Indies team ask for a referral and the decision was referred to the third umpire.

Replays suggested that there was a noise as the ball went past the bat. The delivery pitched on a hard length and jagged back in sharply and the ball sneaked through a gap between Sharma's bat and pad. However, what stoked controversy was that though the replays did not clearly show if the ball had hit the bat's edge Rohit Sharma was declared out by the third umpire. Sharma was disappointed with the decision shaking his head as he walked off, perhaps suggesting that he did not edge the ball.
