According to Green, his fingertips were not place on the ball, suggesting that it had touch down.
“It’s not out, in my opinion.” Why didn’t you zoom in exactly where you should have? It’s beyond my comprehension. You have the technology, camera, and everything else that makes decision-making easier for you. But in this case, the ruling is simply incorrect.”
Because his two fingers were not place on the ball, the ball had touched down. “When you weren’t sure if the fingers touch the ball, it should have been given rather than out,” Harbhajan told Star Sports.
