In the first Test against England in Hyderabad, Ravindra Jadeja, aiming for a century, found himself dismissed LBW by Joe Root at 87. This triggered a debate on social media regarding the Decision Review System (DRS). Despite raising concerns, the on-field umpire's decision to give Jadeja out was upheld after he opted for a DRS referral.

The confusion arose due to the Ultra Edge showing a spike as the ball passed the bat, making it inconclusive whether it hit the bat before the pad. Ravi Shastri, on commentary, supported the decision, explaining the lack of benefit of the doubt for Jadeja.
