Uthappa seemed to have been taken aback by the umpire’s decision. Now a lot depends on how Kerala’s most accomplished batsman, Sanju Samson, fares over the next hour or two. He has begun in sensational fashion though, smashing the first ball he faced over deep mid-on for a six; the bowler was Gaja, who has two wickets already.
