In India, where the series of IPL matches is going on, the umpires have also started cheating. During the match of Mumbai Indians, the umpire gave the out which the experts have declared as not out.
The match between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Supergiants was going on at the Iskanah Stadium in Lucknow, while Ayush Baduni’s controversial run-out has made the match more controversial.
According to Indian media, Ayush Baduni was dismissed by the umpire while taking a run, however fans and cricket experts say that it is unfair to Ayush, the umpire’s decision has been declared wrong.
Under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians are becoming the most controversial team of the IPL so far, where former captain Rohit Sharma also seems to be unhappy with the captaincy of the team.
A run out was given on the first ball of the 19th over, at that time the Lucknow team needed 12 runs from 13 balls, but the decision to win the match was completely changed on the out.
On the other hand, the third umpire also gave an out, although the batsman had crossed the crease of the wicket, but was given out due to being in the air.
Commenting on this decision, former player Irfan Pathan said that the third umpire has shown poor and wrong decision.
It should be noted that Mumbai Indians and Hardik Pandya have come under criticism from social media and experts even before.
Hardik Pandya was also heavily criticized by Navjot Singh Sidhu, while the captaincy war between Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya was also going on.
Arshaddeep and Suryakumar, who were on the crease, immediately decided to take DRS, before the umpire declared the ball wide.
The DRS gestures of both the players were captured in the camera, on which Punjab Kings’ present captain Sam Crone complained to the on-field umpire, which was rejected by the umpire.
It should be noted that this decision of the review was given by the umpire following a signal from the Mumbai Indians players sitting in the pavilion. Ignoring a foreign player has cost the umpire too.
New Zealand media reported that Kiwi cricketers were seen running on the field to give water to other players and just practicing.
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson sat out in 3 matches and scored only 27 runs in 2 matches while fast bowler Trent Boult took 5 wickets in 4 matches.
Aggressive Kiwi opener Richan Ravindra managed to score 112 runs in 5 matches, besides New Zealand’s most expensive player Daryl Mitchell scored 118 runs in 5 matches.
Among other players, big names like Mitchell Santner, Dion Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Glenn Phillips and Matt Henry are yet to get a match.
