Pietersen's Caught-Behind Reprieve — India vs England, Chennai 2012

India vs England

13 December 2012

Kevin Pietersen was given not out on a caught-behind appeal from India when replays and Hot Spot suggested an edge. India reviewed — DRS backed England, leaving the not-out standing under inconclusive evidence rules. Pietersen went on to score 186, one of his finest Test innings, and England won the match. India felt DRS inconsistencies had cost them a crucial wicket at a defining moment.
