The match played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals was also full of controversies. The match ended on the last ball. Royals batsman Rovman Powell was out on the last ball and thus Sunrisers Hyderabad won the match by 1 run. After this match, former cricketer and commentator Akash Chopra has raised questions on a rule.
Sunrisers Hyderabad would have won even after four
Aakash Chopra wrote on Twitter what would have happened if DRS had shown that the ball was missing the stump and Powell had not been declared out. This is a mistake that cannot be thought of. Once the umpire gives out, the ball becomes dead. Even if the batsman is not out. If this had happened, Rajasthan Royals would have got even four runs from leg bye, then Sunrisers Hyderabad would have won the match.
Fans raised questions
Along with Aakash Chopra, many fans have also raised questions on this rule. He says that now such rules have no meaning in cricket. Imagine if this happens in the T20 World Cup final? Then there will definitely be controversy.
leg byes don't count
While retweeting, a user wrote – I have tweeted about this lakhs of times before. If Powell was not out and the decision was overturned by DRS, the leg bye would not have been counted because the on-field umpire had declared him out. Then SRH would have won by 1 run. This is a pathetic rule.
ridiculous decision
Along with this, Chopra also expressed his consent for a post. It read – Even if Powell's bat had hit the edge and the umpire had failed to identify it, Rajasthan Royals would not have got any runs for it and SRH would have won. This is a very ridiculous decision, which is not being considered.
