Ravichandran Ashwin did not mince his words and called out umpire Paul Reiffel's decisions in the third Test match between England and India at the Lord's Cricket Ground, which took place from July 10 to 14 and proved to be a tense encounter and all-time classic.

Ashwin accused Reiffel of bias against India while pointing out the not-out decision while England were batting and vice-versa during the visiting team's batting innings. The Indian cricket legend called for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to step in and review the matter.

“My experience with Paul Reiffel, I want to talk to him. I am not saying that I should tell him to give it out. It’s not like that. Whenever India bowls, he always feels it’s not out. Whenever India bats, he always feels it’s out. If it’s not against India but against all teams, then ICC has to look towards it," said Ashwin on his YouTube Channel 'Ash Ki Baat.'

Ashwin pointed out a DRS call against Indian captain Shubman Gill, where a caught-behind decision was given in the fourth innings, but replays showed a huge gap between the bat and ball following a DRS call. The 106-Test veteran also revealed his father's blunt verdict on the Australian umpire.

"I own a car, a sedan, which I can park through the gap between the bat and ball. It’s clear it was not out. But this is not the first time. My father was watching the match with me. And he told me, ‘Whenever Paul Reiffel comes, India will not win.’ Even Mike Atherton and Nasser Hussain said the umpires could have acted a bit firmer with players taking time,” Ashwin added.

The match officials, umpires, and technology have faced criticism from all corners during the Lord's Test, with Sunil Gavaskar and Anil Kumble being vocal against the decisions too.

As far as the match is concerned, England won a thriller by 22 runs to take a 2-1 lead in the series.
