Shardul Thakur delivery
This umpiring blunder proved to be the difference in the outcome of the match. The fans and players of Sunrisers Hyderabad were fuming with one decision given by on-field umpire Vineet Kulkarni.
Shardul Thakur was the bowler when Kulkarni didn’t call a no-ball despite the ball being well above the waist. However, it was not adjudged a no-ball.
The decision proved to be critical in the end, as Sunrisers Hyderabad ended up losing by just four runs to the Chennai Super Kings.
It influenced the final result of the game. The square leg-umpire was the one who was responsible for the decision. Meanwhile, it must be noted that Kulkarni was removed from ICC’s Elite Panel of Umpires after his several howlers.
