IND vs ENG, Cricket World Cup 2023: In an interesting incident during the match, Rohit Sharma expressed his dissatisfaction with Kuldeep Yadav's decision not to review a potential dismissal. Kuldeep was in excellent form through-out the second innings, exploiting the spin-friendly pitch.
The moment occurred on the fifth ball of the 22nd over when Kuldeep delivered a back-of-a-length, quicker delivery around leg-stump. Livingstone attempted to pull but was struck on the pads.
Initially, it seemed too high, but replays revealed he was plumb in front of the stumps. India opted not to review, and when the screen displayed the replay, Rohit looked frustrated. He called Kuldeep over and exchanged a few words with the ace-spinner on Chinaman’s decision making.
However, Kuldeep made amends later, dismissing Livingstone with an LBW decision in the 30th over. Livingstone scored 27 but could not secure a victory for England.

Earlier, Kuldeep showcased his skill by dismissing Jos Buttler with a remarkable delivery that turned 7.2 degrees. Buttler struggled to read the ball's trajectory and was bowled out by potentially the ball of the tournament.
In the 29th match of the ODI World Cup 2023 at Lucknow's Ekana Cricket Stadium, England chose to field after winning the toss against India. India, batting first for the first time in the tournament, posted a total of 229/9.
The highlight of India's innings was Rohit's splendid performance, accumulating 87 runs and reaching a significant milestone of 18,000 runs in international cricket. Suryakumar Yadav also made a valuable contribution with 49 runs, while Virat Kohli faced an early dismissal without scoring.
England's bowlers put up a commendable performance, with David Willey standing out by taking three crucial wickets. Adil Rashid and Chris Woakes also made significant contributions with two wickets each, collectively restricting India to just under the 230-run mark.
The match saw no changes in either team's lineup, setting the stage for a competitive battle in the ODI World Cup.
