An umpire's decision during a match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been sharply criticized, with former Indian batsman Virender Sehwag leading the charge. The criticism started after an umpire's decision in the match between Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Capitals. According to critics, the umpire's decision played a role in turning the tide of the match.
In Sunday's match, Punjab lost to Delhi. The match between the two teams was tied in the twentieth over when Kings XI equalized Delhi's score of 157, but in the nineteenth over of the match, league umpire Nathan Menon declared a run by batsman Chris Jordan a short run. Granted, the reason was that they were not properly inside the crease.
However, during the TV replay, it became clear that Jordan's call was inside the crease, but nothing could happen now because the third umpire does not have the power to change the on-ground umpire's decision until a decision has been made. Be done In the Super Over, South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada took two wickets to limit Punjab to two runs, a target achieved by the Delhi team in just three balls.
Comments started on social media as soon as the match ended. Sehwag wrote in his tweet that "I do not agree with the choice of man of the match. The umpire who gave the short run should have been declared the man of the match, he was not the short run, that's why the side of the match has turned.
I don’t agree with the man of the match choice . The umpire who gave this short run should have been man of the match.

Former cricketer and commentator Akash Chopra tweeted, "The run that was not short. Technology must play a greater role in such matters. What will happen if Kings XI Punjab does not reach the semi-finals because of these two points? ' Not playing cricket.
Kohli made the complaint when his team Royal Challengers Bangalore were denied a win when the umpire ignored a nine-ball by Mumbai Indians bowler Lasith Malinga, the last of the match There was a ball. The IPL is the most expensive cricket league in the world and is currently being played in the United Arab Emirates due to the Karuna epidemic in India.
