Controversial wicket of Ravindra Jadeja: Chennai won the match between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals. However, this victory has given rise to a controversy. There has been a controversy over the wicket of Ravindra Jadeja. Now Chennai Super Kings batting coach Michael Hussey yesterday said on the controversy that arose after the fall of Ravindra Jadeja's wicket that the decision could have gone either way. Jadeja became the third player in IPL history to be dismissed under the obstructing the field rule. In this way, Ravindra Jadeja was out due to a misunderstanding with CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad while taking runs. Jadeja looked to take another run but Gaikwad sent it back to mid-on. Meanwhile, Jadeja was given out after being caught by wicketkeeper Sanju Samson amid a throw towards the stumps.
This was the right decision
Hussey said, I did not look at it carefully. As soon as Jadeja returned, he changed his direction but he did not change his direction while running. I can see both sides of this incident. I can understand the decision taken by the umpire. The rules say you can't change your line so maybe this was the right decision.
The match between CSK and RR was a low scoring match
The match between CSK and RR was a low scoring match. CSK kept their playoff hopes alive by winning the match by five wickets. Hussey expressed satisfaction with the pitch as it resulted in an even match between the two teams. He said, towards the end of the tournament the pitch becomes a bit slow. But I liked today's game very much.
When RR Cricket Director Kumar Sangakkara was asked about Jadeja's dismissal, he said that he was acting as per the law. He said, the rule says that if the batsman changes his direction and comes in the way of the throw then it is considered obstruction. The rule was changed a few years ago for this very reason. He made it clear that if you are running in the middle and the ball hits your body then it will be considered out. If Jadeja had run straight to where he had stopped, there would have been no problem.
