‘Even club matches have better umpires’: Fans slam controversial decisions in KKR vs RCB

The KKR vs RCB match threw up a lot of controversies with the umpires being under the scanner for a number of decisions. The IPL match turned out to be a thriller, with KKR edging past RCB by a single run. However, the match was laced by a number of decisions that invited the wrath of both set of players. The decisions led cricket fans to bash the umpiring on social media.

Firstly, Virat Kohli was unhappy with his dismissal. Kohli was caught and bowled off Harshit Rana. Kohli felt the ball was no-ball for the ball being over the waist. However, the replay showed that Kohli would’ve met Rana’s ball below his waist if he was on the crease.

Moreover, RCB fans were unhappy with a number of other decisions including a ball from Sunil Narine which could have been called a no ball. Moreover, RCB fans claimed a shot from Rajat Patidar went for a six but the umpires signalled for a four. The social media was abuzz with disdain for umpiring in the KKR vs RCB tie.

Why are umpiring levels not good in ipl? In every season umpiring has been below par even after having the perfect technology. What can be the reason according to you? And why is the bcci not trying to increase the umpiring level?
