Five-time champions Mumbai Indians have already been the subject of controversy because of the support they get from the umpires. Match umpire Javagal Srinath flipped the coin during the toss and some questionable decisions by the umpires during the match had put Mumbai in doubt. After this, Chennai, the current winners, have also been put in a trap.
There was a poor decision by the umpire during Chennai’s innings during the match against Lucknow. When pacer Mohsin Khan came to bowl the 19th over, legend and former captain MS Dhoni (1*) and Ravindra Jadeja (53*) were on top with fifties. Dhoni faced the strike. Mohsin started this over with a wide. The next ball also looked wide but this time the umpire didn’t give it. Dhoni did not accept this. He was taking the review.
The third umpire ruled that the ball was outside the line and therefore wide. But it was a 50-50 call. So, the onfield umpire gave Mohsin, the bowler, the benefit of the doubt. But the third referee’s verdict was different.

It was clear in the replay that Dhoni faced a front foot strike in the middle stump area. The ball did not go too far off his bat. That is why many doubt how this will be spread.
This is a matchmaking league. BCCI will go to any lengths to win big teams like Mumbai and Chennai. Because they know that if they go out early, it will cause a decrease in the number of viewers and that will seriously affect their income. That’s why fans are open on social media and don’t be surprised if they see any tricks to win these teams and reach the end.

But it could be seen that this ball did not go far from the wide marked blue marking. After the match, the umpire’s decision was severely criticized by cricket lovers. Cricket lovers joked that the Ambani family of Mumbai teams offered crores to the umpires to make decisions in their favour.
