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.
