Australia’s senior pacer Mitchell Starc on Friday played down the chatter around India batter KL Rahul’s contentious caught behind dismissal on the first day of the opening Test here, saying it was a “regulation wicket”.
Rahul’s dismissal kicked up a controversy with former players from both countries questioning the third umpire’s decision to overturn the on-field official’s not out call.
