Can't believe they've given that out... Was in no way conclusive
Need to have hotspot
The on field decision was not out. The third umpire didn't had conclusive decision to reverse it. Stupid error by the third umpire.
Not the worst start from us. Certainly not the best either. Far too many loose deliveries.
KL Rahul looks does not look for singles on the pitch as often as he claims he 'gets' them off it.
I can see why it was given. In this frame there's the sound, but for me, its clear it cannot be the pad. The left image shows it would have to hit on the left edge of the pad (as we look at it) where the pad is furthest away from the viewer, but in the right hand image, it would need to be hitting near the front of the pad. Which isn't possible.
His pacing of the innings is going to be an issue if he keeps playing like this. Both Rohit and Dhawan accelerated really well after a slow start.
I'm beginning to foster a strong dislike for KL Rahul and his strike rate.
Third umpire did not spend that much time thinking it over as you have. Not sure what you are saying is 100% conclusive either.
He doesn't even try to look for gaps. He plays his shots straight to the field and stays in his crease. Stark opposite to Kohli's place and run approach.
2 maidens by Holder 
Not sure what point you're making here? Looks like it could be either.
Standard, Indian fans complaining about their team as they win with relative ease.
You might think winning a couple of group stage games negates the fact that our opener has a consistent strike rate of about 60.
I don't.
They’re like the Barcelona fans of cricket To be fair he’s not your first choice opener. He’s a decent enough stand in I think.
It depends a lot on the on field umpire decision. There is not a chance that anyone can say conclusively that it has hit the bat and that's what's needed to overturn the decision.
There are many things this WI team is substandard at, but feck me we are truly one of the worst fielding teams I’ve ever seen in my life.
I think it's fine - if he can find his form while we don't lose matches, we'll be in good shape.
I'm saying that from those images, if that is the point the sound was made, it cannot be the pad. It can't be hitting the back and front of the pad at the same time.
How on earth is Gayle on +12 runs saved? Guy barely moves
When you're having to factor in so much, you stay with the onfield decision. The third umpire was wrong in so many ways.
Unless there is conclusive proof, the on field umpire decision should stand imo
Meh, trash innings.
God damn, we're such a boring batting side (other than Kohli).

Rahul gone. Had a golden chance for a big score today. Shame. Let's see how Shankar gets on now.
Good riddance, I'd say.
Isn't this like a really tight VAR offside decision? Just because the margin is small doesn't mean its not conclusive. It can be 100% conclusive with a tiny margin. If you can show from the images the sound isn't caused by the pad, even if the sound is small, the ball is close to both etc. doesn't mean its not conclusive.
You and the third umpire might be the only two people in the world who think that it was anyway near conclusive.
And me
Shankar playing like its a test match.
Have any of you considered that the WI are just bowling really well? The pitch also doesn't look great. Even the great Kohli hasn't smashed anything yet. Calm down.
Nah, this has been our formula for a long time now. Slow and steady, and trust our bowling.
Would be interesting to see them chase a 300+ total.
Another failure by 3D man.
Innings dead already. Only Kohli can get India a score here and hope Pandya has a good day
Well hopefully that's that for Shankar.
Wtf is Shankar doing at number 4?
Wait, wtf is he doing at the world cup in the first place? fecking crazy.

Not 100% true. Rohit and Dhawan generally start slow in first 10/15 overs but then pick up the pace a lot and generally we are around 6 RPO mark by 30th over if all goes to plan. Today we have failed to push on after the first 10 properly. Think since this is a used pitch, it may not be as easy to score off the old ball here.
He will 100% play against England.
Jadhav ahead of Dhoni... mmm
