A contentious leg-before choice made by tv umpire Anil Chaudhary throughout the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 Eliminator between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru on the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday triggered an argument.
Dinesh Karthik was adjudged leg-before off Avesh Khan within the fifteenth over of RCB’s innings earlier than the batter determined to take the assessment after consulting his companion, Mahipal Lomror, on the different finish.
The tv umpire dominated in Karthik’s favour on the premise that he had edged the ball. Nonetheless, the spike that appeared on Extremely-Edge when the bat was beside the ball appeared to recommend that it was triggered by the bat hitting the batter’s pad as a result of there was a perceptible hole between bat and ball.
Whereas commentators criticized the choice on air, Rajasthan Royals head coach Kumar Sangakkara was visibly upset within the dugout.
Karthik, who was on 0 when the incident occurred, went on to attain 11 off 13 balls and was ultimately dismissed by Avesh within the nineteenth over.
