Sun Feb 09 12:10:00 UTC 2025: ## India’s Missed Reviews Cost Them Against England in Cuttack ODI
**Cuttack, India** – India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, expressed his displeasure after two crucial review decisions cost his team during the second ODI against England in Cuttack. The missed opportunities, stemming from a lack of review calls by KL Rahul and Axar Patel, allowed England’s Joe Root to continue his innings.
In the 25th over, Axar Patel bowled Root, but the umpire’s not out decision stood. While replays showed the ball would have clipped the off-stump, Rahul and Patel chose not to review, a decision that visibly frustrated Sharma. This incident followed an earlier wasted review against Root in the first over.
England, winning the toss for the second consecutive game, posted a strong start thanks to half-centuries from Ben Duckett (65) and contributions from Phil Salt (26) and Harry Brook (31). However, India’s bowlers, including Varun Chakaravarthy and Harshit Rana, fought back, breaking crucial partnerships. Despite the missed review opportunities, India maintains a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. The incident highlights the importance of accurate decision-making regarding reviews in high-pressure situations.
