Indian fans explode over Martin Guptill's 'surgical strike'

Indian fans are exploding after a TV graphic appeared to show New Zealand broke the fielding rules when Martin Guptill produced his match sealing runout in the Cricket World Cup semifinal.

Guptill's brilliant throw - labelled a "surgical strike" by one fan - to strand MS Dhoni is being hailed around the world.

The Indian veteran was close to masterminding another one of his great rear-guard acts when Guptill struck with a direct throw to the stumps at Old Trafford.

Television coverage included a graphic which showed New Zealand having six fielders outside the circle, as Kane Williamson adjusted his field by sending Guptill back.

But analysis of the moment appears to show that Williamson compensated for this change by bringing Colin de Grandhomme up from third man, making New Zealand's fielding strategy legal.

Yes,I am not crying. This is their 6th fumble in a row at semi or final stage in a I C tournament since 2013. They are paid millions.. Fix it and get better.. not worth my tears..

Sad for the tournament. Indian fans are undisputedly the most passionate cricket fans on the planet, and maybe in any sport.

And for such passionate fans and the sheer number of them, they’re relatively trouble free. A positive for any cricket tournament anywhere
