IPL 2018: Top 5 Umpiring Howlers of the Tournament 1

It was arguably the worst call in the tournament. The commentators and the players were left shell-shocked when onfield umpire Anantha Padmanabhan gave a no ball to a delivery from Tom Curran.

It was the 2nd leg between the Mumbai Indians and the Kolkata Knight Riders which held at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Replays clearly showed that Curran’s foot was well under the line. Commentators were fuming in the box, and it was indeed a howler.

KKR skipper, Dinesh Karthik and Tom Curran even requested the umpire to review the decision. However, Anantha Padmanabhan was firm in his decision.

“That’s our job buddy, see it and make a call. Horrible umpiring on this occasion and with all the technology in our game these days it should be overturned,” former Australian skipper Michael Clarke tweeted after the match.
