The incident is from the second game of this IPL. It was the 19th when Kings XI Punjab chased the capitals of Delhi into Dubai on Sunday. Batter Mayank Agarwal shoved the ball from Kagiso Rabada’s long yorker to Long On. Two batters quickly took two runs. But leg referee Nitin Menon pointed out, a short run. The umpire said Chris Jordan, who was on the verge of no strike, did not cross the area when he took the first run.
Shortly after the television replay, Jordan crossed the fold quite clearly. However, the referee’s decision did not change.
After that race, it became tomorrow for Punjab. The match ended in a draw. In the Super Over, Punjab did not get ahead of the great Rabada bowling alley.
At the end of the match there was a heated discussion about giving less than one run. Referee Nitin Menon, who was named to the ICC’s elite panel this year, fell at gunpoint. Sehwag, who has always been known for his outspokenness, directly crucified the referee.
“I do not agree with the man who was selected as the man of the match. The referee, who gave him a running jersey, should have given him the man of the match. There were no short runs and that is what made the difference.”
Even after that wrong decision, the match remained in the hands of the Punjab. They were on the brink of victory with Mayank’s big hitting. It took 13 races on the last lap. Mayank hit a six on the first ball of the Marcus Stones over. Two runs came on the next ball, Mayank’s limit on the third ball. Then the match tied. Punjab only needs 1 3-ball run.
Virender Sehwag never keeps his word
Then the new drama began. The run did not come on the fourth ball. The fifth ball was a complete pitch, with only one fielder at the coverage limit. Mayank was caught by the only fielder on the cover with a great 69-run inning. The last ball was a low shot, this time Chris Jordan caught it on the square leg. Matching tie.
In the super final, Rabada gave up two runs on the first ball, but fired Lokesh Rahul and Glenn Maxwell on the next two balls. Delhi wins easily.
Commentator and former New Zealand off-roader Scott Styres spoke of the referee’s mistakes and the failure of Punjab.
“The decision to give 1 shortstop in today’s IPL match was very bad. But if you need 1 2-ball run, no one can win even after that, then you have to take responsibility for yourself.”
Some of the experts also raised the question of whether television referees should have the opportunity to intervene in the event of these field referee errors.
