RCB skipper impressed with cameraman’s focus on coin toss
What is the controversy around IPL coin toss?
The issue began with a viral video from the MI vs RCB match. In the clip, match referee Javagal Srinath was seen picking up the coin after Pandya tossed it. Fans speculated that Srinath might have influenced the toss in favor of MI. This sparked outrage and accusations of potential manipulation by the IPL broadcasters.
However, the situation only became more complex when another video emerged. This clip showed RCB skipper Faf du Plessis seemingly describing the MI vs RCB toss incident to a surprised Pat Cummins, captain of the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
