Virat Kohli was concerned in a controversial determination which left the previous Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain fuming throughout the facet’s match towards Kolkata Knight Riders within the IPL 2024 on Sunday.
Harshit Rana bowled a full toss to Kohli within the third over of the innings which seemed like an over-the-waist no ball. Kohli failed to connect with the ball and was caught and bowled.
The on-field umpire determined to refer the choice to the third umpire, Michael Gough, who determined the ball had dipped on the batter and adjudged Kohli’s dismissal to be authorized.
Kohli, sad with the choice, argued with the umpire earlier than departing and slammed the bat on the boundary rope. Commentator Harsha Bhogle whereas discussing the wicket, stated, “RCB have been robbed right here.”
Based on Regulation 41.7.1 of the ICC Taking part in Situations, “Any supply, which passes or would have handed, with out pitching, above waist top of the striker standing upright on the popping crease, is to be deemed to be unfair, whether or not or not it’s more likely to inflict bodily damage on the striker. If the bowler bowls such a supply the umpire shall instantly name and sign No ball.”
Kohli was standing exterior the popping crease for the supply and therefore claimed the supply crossed him over his waist. However replays confirmed the ball’s trajectory falling beneath his waist line. Had Kohli been standing contained in the crease, the ball would have handed him additional beneath the waist line.
