Legends League Cricket is currently being played in India. Those players who have said goodbye to cricket are taking part in this league. Gautam Gambhir is one of them. Former Indian opening batsman is a part of the India Capitals team in this league. This team was facing Urbanrisers Hyderabad in Ranchi on Thursday. In this match, India Capitals captain Gambhir was subjected to atrocities. Due to a shortage in this league, Gambhir had to lose his wicket on the very first ball. Had this shortcoming not been there, Gambhir’s wicket could have been saved.
The team also had to suffer the consequences of this. India Capitals team had to face defeat by three runs in this match. Batting first, Hyderabad scored 189 runs losing five wickets. India Capitals team collapsed for 186 runs after losing six wickets.
flaw in review
The Indian Capitals team, which came to chase the target of 190 runs, got a setback on the very first ball. Chris Mofu hit the very first ball on Gambhir’s pads. On Hyderabad’s appeal, the umpire gave Gambhir out. This ball seemed to go outside the leg stump and that is why Gambhir took review. But even in the review he was found out. However, this review was not like a normal review. The reason for this is that Hawkeye is not being used in this league. Hawkeye helps the third umpire to understand whether the ball has crossed the line or not. And whether the ball hits the stump or not, but this technology is not there in this league, due to which the third umpire automatically guessed the decision after seeing the replays. Had Hawke come, it is possible that Gambhir would have been saved because it seemed that the ball was going outside the leg stump.
A golden duck for Gambhir. That’s not something you see very often.

Is stinginess the reason or something else?
Hawkeye’s technology will be very expensive. For this, approximately one crore rupees is spent in one match. In such a situation, the absence of Hawk Eye raises the question that either the league does not have enough money to use Hawk Eye or even after having the money, the organizers of the league used Hawk Eye’s technology to save money. did not do. Whatever may be the reason, in the absence of this technology both the teams may have to suffer losses.
