Technology did not help this time: Hardik

Mumbai
Gujarat Titans skipper Hardik Pandya rued that technology did not come to their rescue when Matthew Wade was adjudged LBW in a controversial call but said overall on most occasions it has helped in taking the right decisions.
Wade s dismissal off Glenn Maxwell triggered a debate during GT s match against Royal Challengers Bangalore with UltraEdge not showing any spike although it seemed that the ball had deflected when it passed the bat.
I think it was slightly there (spike) in the ultra-edge. From the big screen, it was not visible. Because you can t fault, if technology is not helping, then I don t know who s going to help, Hardik said at the post-match press conference.
Wade was livid with the decision as he was sure that the underage sweep shot off Maxwell and took no time in reviewing the on-field decision, which was out.
However, despite a clear deviation in the ball s trajectory before it thudded onto the pads, the UltraEdge did not detect it and the TV umpire stayed with the on-field umpire s call. Obviously, it is nothing personal from anybody but technology sometimes helps, sometimes does not. This time it did not help. But most of the time it has worked and kind of over-turned decisions and most of the time the right decision has been taken, he added.
