Indian Premier League umpires are yet again under scrutiny as they made a controversial decision, or it’s fair to say a terrible decision, during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 Eliminator between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
One more blunder!
RCB’s Dinesh Karthik was given out LBW initially off the bowling of Avesh Khan in the 15th over. Opposing the decision, Karthik took the review, and the TV umpire Anil Chaudhary ruled in Karthik’s favor as it looked like the ball had edged from the bat before hitting the pad. However, the spike that was seen on Ultra-Edge was off both the bat and pad, not the edge.
After this, one more mistake from TV umpires in this IPL 2024, everyone is criticizing them. From commentators to former cricketers, even Rajasthan Royals head coach Kumar Sangakkara was seen upset in the dugout.
