What is umpire call?
Talking about umpire call, this rule is of DRS. This applies when a batsman is given out LBW. In this, when the ball is seen touching the outer part of the leg stump during ball tracking, the umpire's call is applied. Under this, if the field umpire gives out then the final decision is considered out. If the field umpire gives not out, the batsman remains not out. If the batsman is out or not out under the orders of the umpire, then in such a situation whichever team takes DRS, it is not wasted but remains intact.
