There has been another controversy in IPL 2024 and this time too questions are being raised on the third umpire. In fact, in the match between Lucknow Supergiants and Mumbai Indians, Ayush Badhoni was run out while he was inside the crease. The incident happened in the 19th over when Ayush Badhoni tried to steal two runs but during this Naman Dheer made an excellent throw to Ishan Kishan. Ishaan failed to drop the bells the first time but he dropped the bells the second time. When the decision went to the third umpire, it was found in the replay that Badhoni was deep inside the crease but still he was given out. In fact, the third umpire believed that Badhoni’s bat was in the air.
Lucknow team was surprised by the decision
As soon as Ayush Badhoni was given out, there was panic in the camp of Lucknow Supergiants. Captain KL Rahul stood up and stood on the boundary line. At the same time, head coach Justin Langer started arguing with the fourth umpire standing near the boundary line. It was inevitable to do all this because Badhoni looked not out.
