There have been plenty of incidents in the past where bowlers have had altercations with the on-field umpire over a decision and the Rajasthan Royals (RR) leg-spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal becomes one of them on Sunday (April 10). However, Chahal, after a controversial wide call by the on-field umpire, got a wicket with the next ball after skipper, Sanju Samson took a DRS.
Yuzvendra Chahal was visibly angry during Rajasthan Royals’ (RR) fixture against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Sunday (April 10) at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. It was the 18th over of the second innings, and LSG was chasing a modest target of 166. The LSG was reeling at 125/7 in 17.4 overs before the incident took place.

Yuzvendra Chahal bowled a tossed up leg-break outside off stump, and the on-field umpire immediately called that wide. Chahal did not like that decision and went on chatting with the umpire. Even RR skipper Sanju Samson was unhappy with that decision, and rightly so as the replays showed the ball was slightly inside the marker when it passed the bat of the striker, Dushmtha Chameera.
The next ball crashed into Dushmantha Chameera’s back pad in front of the middle stump. The on-field umpire gave that not out, and Samson went straight to take the DRS call without even discussing with anyone. The replay showed the ball would hit the base of middle stump, and was given out later because of that.
