The contentious removal of Rohit Sharma emphasizes MI skipper in full astonishment due to UltraEdge glitch

After Kolkata Knight Riders were restricted to 165 for nine, Jasprit Bumrah’s superb and record-breaking five-wicket haul offered an already eliminated Mumbai Indians a chance at a third consecutive win. Mumbai were hoping for a good start in Navi Mumbai on Monday night before being stung by a contentious dismissal that left MI captain Rohit Sharma and the rest of the team stunned. In the absence of an injured Suryakumar Yadav, Mumbai were unable to recover from Rohit’s early and disputed departure, losing by 52 runs to suffer their ninth defeat of the season.

When KKR pacer Tim Southee delivered a scrambled-seam delivery, pitched shot of length, Rohit looked to tuck the ball to the leg side, the event occurred in the first over of Mumbai’s chase of 166. The ball, however, bounced off his thighs and landed in the palms of diving Sheldon Jackson.

Because the on-field umpire was unsure if there was an inside edge, he sought assistance from the third umpire. The UltraEdge spike was detected, and Rohit was ruled out.

However, footage on the big screen clearly showed that the UltraEdge had significant spikes even before the ball had passed the bat, revealing a serious flaw. Graeme Swann, a former England cricketer who was in the commentary box at the time of Rohit’s departure, said Rohit had been “hard done by.”

Rohit and MI co-owner Akash Ambani were both taken aback by the move.

Despite Ishan Kishan’s valiant 43-ball 41, Mumbai were unable to recover from the early setback.
