AnswerClick to flip back
A
Sachin Tendulkar
💡 Explanation:
In November 1992, Sachin Tendulkar became the first cricketer to be given out by the third umpire when he was adjudged run out in a Test match against South Africa at Kingsmead, Durban. This marked the debut of the third umpire system in international cricket, which used television replays to assist on-field umpires with close decisions like run-outs and stumpings. The third umpire for this historic decision was Karl Liebenberg.
