Kolkata: Sri Lankan batsman Dilruwan Perera was today caught on camera looking at the dressing room before he asked for a review to overturn an LBW decision by onfield umpire Nigel Llong.
Perera seemed to have endured a possible 'brain fade'
moment like Australian skipper Steve Smith, who had also
looked at the dressing room for hints after his dismissal
during the second Test in Bangalore last March.
The incident happened in the last ball of 57th over with
Perera yet to open his account when he was struck on the
backfoot by an indipper. The ball was clearly in-line and was
given out by Llong.
Perera first looked at his partner Rangana Herath and
started walking back immediately towards the pavilion. But he
suddenly opted to review after turning towards the dressing
room.
It was, however, not clear whether any assistance came
from the dressing room.
