While Afghans appealed for lbw, they eventually decided against taking a review. However, Hawk-Eye later revealed the ball would have gone on to hit the top of leg stump. Gill, batting on 108 at that point, was dismissed for 126 by Mohammad Saleem a few overs later.<\/p>\n<p>After Gill was handed a lifeline, Pant got a feather to the wicketkeeper off the very next ball, but the Afghans still didn\u2019t take the review. UltraEdge later confirmed the left-hander had indeed edged the ball that had seamed away from him. Pant added another 27 runs before being dismissed for 81 by Shahidi later in the same session.<\/p>\n<p>To add to its woes, Afghanistan also dropped two catches on the opening day of the Test. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan\u2019s outside edges were spilled by Abdul Malik and Rahmanullah Gurbaz at gully and in the slips, respectively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on Jun 07, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/ind-vs-afg-test-afghanistan-drs-review-poor-judgement-umpire-lifeline-kl-rahul-shubman-gill-rishabh-pant\/article71072511.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Afghanistan\u2019s poor judgement has been in the spotlight during its one-off Test against India in New Chandigarh over the first two days of the contest.
