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.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”

Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.

KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.

In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.

In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.

Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.

Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.

He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
