IPL 2024: Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Gautam Gambhir looks quite calm in this season of IPL. Gambhir's anger was visible on many occasions. He got angry with the umpire in the team's last match against RCB. Gambhir was angry with the match official for not allowing a substitute fielder in place of Sunil Narine.
KKR did not get even one
In the 14th over, Kolkata Knight Riders team was batting at a run rate of more than 12. Andre Russell and Venkatesh Iyer were at the crease. On the last ball of the over, Andre Russell played a shot to Rahul Chahar towards cover. Ashutosh Sharma, who was fielding there, picked up the ball and threw it towards the wicketkeeper. The throw was away from the wicketkeeper and singles were taken by Russell and Iyer in the middle. But even after that KKR did not get runs.
Gambhir argued with the umpire
Kolkata Knight Riders did not get a single in that time because the field umpire had already signaled the completion of the over due to the throw. This meant that the ball became dead as soon as the umpire signaled. Meanwhile, no runs will be scored on him. This angered Gautam Gambhir. He immediately got up from his sheet and went to the fourth umpire and expressed his displeasure. However, even after this, KKR did not get this one run.
Every run has a price
Every run has a value in the game of cricket. Even though Punjab Kings won the match, it was also possible that there would have been a difference of one run between victory and defeat. For this reason, Gautam Gambhir was angry with the team not getting a single. KKR had won by one run against RCB in their last match.
