India was playing against England at Rajkot in 2016 when this incident took place. Alastair Cook had batted enough to frustrate the Indians on the field and was already past his century. He literally no chance to the bowlers during his innings.

However, Umesh Yadav was bowling with some serious pace manage to get one ball past his edge. The ball landed in the gloves of Wriddhiman Saha and he appealed. Captain Virat Kohli, too went ahead and appealed. However, the decision was turned down by the umpire. Without taking a lot of time for discussion, Kohli asked for a review.

However, the replays showed that the ball had gone past the bat completely. In fact, there was huge daylight between the ball and the bat. There was nothing much which Kohli could have done as he smiled and went back to his fielding position. Cook kept batting as he was given not out by the third umpire.
