Watch: Umpire's Funny Gesture On Rashid Khan's LBW Appeal Leaves Everyone In Splits

Adelaide Strikers defeated Melbourne Renegades by 18 runs in a Big Bash League game in Melbourne on Sunday. In the match, a hilarious incident took place in the 17th over of the Renegades' run chase. Rashid Khan bowled a googly that hit Beau Webster on the pads and the Strikers appealed for an LBW. The on-field umpire Greg Davidson started to raise his finger but changed his mind midway and started scratching his nose. Rashid Khan started to celebrate the wicket along with his teammates but Davidson soon confirmed that the batsman is not out.

Big Bash League's official Twitter handle posted a video of the incident. "Greg Davidson with a bit of an itchy schnoz at Marvel Stadium #nosegate #BBL09," the caption of the video read.

Rashid's teammate Cameron White told the commentators that the right decision was made eventually. 

"Good decision if he changed it. That's all we want, the right outcome," Cameron White said.
