Jasprit Bumrah loses it on umpire 'It's out and you know it" after John Campbell survives close call

Jasprit Bumrah didn’t hold back when a review call went against India on Day 4 of the ongoing Test against West Indies. The moment came when John Campbell, nearing a landmark hundred, survived a close leg-before shout that left Bumrah unimpressed with the technology.

The delivery in question hit Campbell on the pads while he was in the 90s. India went for the review, but what followed left everyone puzzled.

Confusion Over the Replay

The ultra-edge replay showed the ball and bat making contact almost simultaneously, leaving the third umpire unable to confirm whether it was pad-first or bat-first. With no clear evidence, the decision stayed with the on-field umpire, and Campbell continued batting. Bumrah, visibly unconvinced, walked back with a smirk and a pointed remark suggesting that even the umpire knew the batter was gone but couldn’t prove it because of the tech limitations.

It was a rare moment where a player openly called out the flaws of DRS without crossing the line. The pacer had been bowling tirelessly that morning, creating pressure but finding no reward. The incident summed up the growing frustration many players feel about the reliance on inconclusive technology in high-stakes Tests.

Campbell’s Redemption Moment

Campbell, having survived the scare, made full use of the reprieve. He steadied himself, soaked in the pressure, and reached his maiden Test hundred with a six off Ravindra Jadeja. The West Indies dressing room erupted in joy, with captain Shai Hope and coach Darren Sammy celebrating the long-awaited fightback from their top order.

It took the West Indies four innings in the series and a follow-on to finally show resilience, and Campbell’s century symbolised that overdue defiance. For India, the morning belonged to Bumrah’s persistence and the irony that brilliant bowling sometimes meets the limits of technology rather than the justice of wickets.
