In a match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, an umpiring error sparked outrage among the fans. The incident occurred in the 11th over of the second innings when Sunrisers Hyderabad was chasing a target of 171 runs. The umpire failed to spot a clear edge off the bat of Sunrisers’ batsman Manish Pandey, which was caught by KKR wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik. When the on-field umpire did not refer the decision to the third umpire, some of the fans in the stands started throwing water bottles onto the field, causing a temporary halt in proceedings. The situation was brought under control after a few minutes, and the match resumed. However, the incident has once again highlighted the need for better umpiring standards and the importance of using technology to make accurate decisions in cricket.
