Mullanpur: During the IPL match against Punjab Kings, Mumbai Indians players have been accused of rigging the DRS call. During the match, Mumbai player Tim David, who was sitting in the dugout, gave instructions to the players on the ground to take DRS. Tim David’s move was exactly what he was looking for. Punjab captain Sam Curran pointed out that Mumbai were taking outside help, but the umpire took no action.
After Tim David posed, he took DRS for the Mumbai. After reviewing the footage, the umpire ruled that the Punjab bowler had bowled a wide. The incident happened in the 15th over of the match. At this time, Mumbai Indians were 125 runs for the loss of two wickets. Tim David instructed captain Hardik Pandya twice to take DRS. After watching the replay on TV, Tim David is said to have helped the players on the ground from the dugout in Mumbai.
Fans took to social media to criticize the umpire for not reversing the decision even after the Punjab captain complained. It was also claimed that this was a deliberate move to help Mumbai. Controversy also arises over Wide’s technique. Former Australian cricketer Tom Moody also came forward to question the quality of umpiring in IPL. Tom Moody noted on the X Platform that the third referee who officiates the match should have experience in this regard.
In the match held at Mullanpur Stadium, the home ground of Punjab Kings, Mumbai Indians won by nine runs. Batting first, Mumbai scored 192 runs and took Punjab’s first 4 wickets in just 14 runs off the bowling. A brilliant innings by Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma looked like Punjab would win the game, but failed to find the target. Punjab were all out with five balls to spare.
