Ben Stokes New Record During India 1st Inning

This set a record, as no other team had used up all their reviews so quickly in an innings, breaking the previous record set by Jason Holder in 2020 against England, who used up all reviews in 16.1 overs.

Ben Foakes caught the ball and appealed, but the umpire rejected it. Joe Root persuaded Stokes to challenge the decision. However, the replay revealed that Jaiswal’s bat and gloves were nowhere near the ball.
Ben Stokes used their second review incorrectly when they thought Rohit Sharma had touched the ball, but he hadn’t. The third review, however, had some justification.
Shubman Gill seemed out as the ball hit him in front of the stumps off Tom Hartley. Even though the ball tracker revealed it didn’t hit Gill’s bat, it showed the ball bouncing above the wicket. This led to England wasting their third review too.
