The umpire's bad decision..!? RCB player protested..!?
There was a stir in the final match of the syed mushtaq ali Cricket Series when RCB player Rajat Patidar protested against the umpire's decision in favor of the mumbai team. In the final match held in Bengaluru, the madhya pradesh team and the mumbai team data-faced many tests. Batting first, the madhya pradesh team scored 174 runs for the loss of eight wickets at the end of 20 overs. In this, Rajat Patidar, who batted as the captain of the madhya pradesh team, scored 81 runs in 40 balls. He hit six sixes and six fours. In the madhya pradesh innings, shardul thakur bowled the last ball as a right-handed ball. Pattidar tried to move and hit it but could not touch the ball. The ball went beyond the line marked as a right-handed ball.
The mumbai team appealed against this decision to have the on-field umpire give it a right-handed ball. Ananthapadmanaban, who was the third umpire at the time, declared that it was not a right-handed ball. Rajat Pattidar was shocked to see this. However, he did not move from the field and protested to the umpire that it was a right-handed ball. After this, the third umpire examined the ball again, said that he had made a mistake, and confirmed that it was a right-handed ball. After this, the last ball was bowled again and Rajat Pattidar hit it for a six. Chasing a target of 175 runs to win, mumbai lost five wickets in 17.5 overs. The match was tense for a while as Rajat Patidar said he would not leave the field to protest the umpire's wrong decision.
