Madhya Pradesh captain Rajat Patidar raised a couple of eyebrows when he refused to depart the sphere after his group’s batting innings within the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy closing in opposition to Mumbai in Bengaluru on Sunday.
Patidar was displeased when TV umpire KN Ananthapadmanabhan overturned the on-field umpire’s name for a large off the final ball after being referred upstairs by Mumbai with the DRS. Mumbai pacer Shardul Thakur rolled a slower-ball exterior the popping crease on the off-side, which was missed by Patidar at the same time as he shuffled throughout to nudge the ball.

With the match hanging within the steadiness, Patidar refused to depart the bottom, urging the on-field umpires to have one other take a look at the choice. The TV umpire quickly had one other replay of his name and overturned his personal resolution. “Extraordinarily sorry, the ball had pitched exterior the popping crease. I didn’t see that,” Ananthapadmanabhan was heard saying on the official broadcast, handing Madhya Pradesh one other ball with Mumbai dropping their evaluation.
