It is worth noting that the on-field umpire had given Hartley out, but the umpire had given Hartley out on the appeal of being caught out and not on the appeal of LBW.
Regarding this, the third umpire saw that the batsman was not caught out, hence asked the on-field umpire to change his decision. If the umpire had given the player out for LBW, the batsman would have been out under the umpire’s call.
For this reason, the batsman was not out even after heating the wicket. After this incident, Ravichandran Ashwin went straight to the umpire and started talking about this issue.
