Bangalore: Another controversy struck IPL as Mumbai Indians wins the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on the last ball of the match but eventually when players were shaking the hands, the big screen at the stadium showed that the last ball that Malinga bowled was a no-ball.
RCB while chasing 189 needed 7 runs from the last ball. Veteran bowler Lasith Malinga was bowling the last over of the match and young sensation Shivam Dubey was facing the most important delivery of the match. Dubey could not connect the ball and guided it to MI skipper Rohit Sharma on the boundary.
Meanwhile, the big screen on the ground showed that the last ball of the over was a no ball. But till then the match was already awarded to the Mumbai Indians.
RCB captain Kohli who was at the receiving end of the negligence said, "We are playing at the IPL level and not playing club cricket. The umpires should have had their eyes open. That is a ridiculous call (last ball). If it is a game of margins, I don't know what is happening. They should have been more sharp and careful out there."
Rohit Sharm the captain of Mumbai Indias expressed," I just got to know when we crossed the rope. Somebody just told me it was a no-ball. These kind of mistakes are not good for the game of cricket, it's pretty simple. The over before that Bumrah bowled a ball which wasn't wide. Those are game-changers."
"There's a TV up there, they have to watch what's happening. It is as simple as that. Players can't do much. The only thing they can do is walk off and shake hands because it was the last ball. It's disappointing to see that. I hope they rectify their mistakes like we do when we make mistakes."
