India ended up losing to Australia in women's hockey semi-final in the ongoing Commonwealth Games. However, the penalty shootout has now become a huge talking about after the umpires called for the first Australian shot to be re-taken due to a shot-clock error. It is important to note that Ambrosia Malone had missed the penalty, but the match officials called for the shot to be retaken, and Ambrosia did not fail to convert her strike this time around. Former India batter Virender Sehwag has now reacted strongly to the call by the officials, saying such biasedness used to happen in cricket as well until they became a superpower. "Penalty miss hua Australia se and the Umpire says, Sorry Clock start nahi hua. Such biasedness used to happen in cricket as well earlier till we became a superpower, Hockey mein bhi hum jald banenge and all clocks will start on time. Proud of our girls," tweeted Sehwag.

On the other hand, India will square off against New Zealand in the bronze medal match. Former India hockey captain Viren Rasquinha also reacted strongly to the incident, tweeting: "The @FIH_Hockey really needs to get their act in order. Timers are basics. This is not an Under 10 school match. 2nd time in a year in major tournaments this happens. Our beautiful sport will lose its credibility & will lose many passionate fans if FIH continues to f*#$ up.

Australia's Rosie Malone, who missed her first attempt during the penalty shootout, was gifted another chance as the eight second countdown on the scoreboard hadn't started. "In the semi-final match of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games between Australia and India (Women), the penalty shootout started mistakenly too early (the clock was not yet ready to operate), for which we apologise," FIH said in a statement. Promoted "The process in place for such situations is that the penalty shootout has to be retaken, which was done. This incident will be thoroughly reviewed by the FIH in order to avoid any similar issues in the future," the statement added. (With PTI inputs).
