Punjab Kings (PBKS) co-owner Preity Zinta wasn’t actually pleased with the third umpire’s choice when Shashank Singh had hit a Mohit Sharma supply in the direction of the long-on boundary. While Karun Nair had signalled a six, the umpire dominated it as simply runs because the fielder himself was shocked.

Jaipur:

Punjab Kings (PBKS) co-owner Preity Zinta lashed out on the third umpire for ruling an in depth choice on the boundary within the Delhi Capitals’ favour regardless of the fielder, Karun Nair, signalling it a six. Zinta stated that such decision-making within the know-how period, with so many replays on the TV umpire’s disposal, was ‘unacceptable’. Punjab Kings misplaced their penultimate house sport towards the Capitals by six wickets as their probabilities of qualifying within the high two took a serious hit.

The incident passed off on the ultimate supply of the fifteenth over, bowled by Mohit Sharma. Sharma dropped it quick and Shashank Singh latched onto it in a flash, hitting it in the direction of the long-on boundary. Nair, who was within the deep, needed to leap to have the ability to catch it, however he did maintain on to the ball. However, the fielder was agonisingly near the boundary and dropped it instantly earlier than the momentum took him out. Nair appeared to have contact his foot on the boundary rope and signalled it a six instantly.

The replays confirmed that Nair caught the ball and instantly threw earlier than going over the boundary and therefore, the third umpire dominated that it wasn’t a six. Nair’s foot did contact the rope however when he was coming again in to choose up the ball again. Could which have led Nair to sign the six? As he too appeared a bit amused after the replay and the umpire’s choice.

After the sport, Zinta wasn’t the happiest and talked about that she spoke to Nair after the sport and he once more confirmed that he thought it was a six. 

“In such a high profile tournament with so much technology at the Third Umpire’s disposal such mistakes are unacceptable & simply shouldn’t happen. I spoke To Karun after the game & he confirmed it was DEFINITELY a 6 ! I rest my case!,” Zinta wrote on X (previously Twitter). Would that call have made a distinction? Delhi Capitals chased the full down in 19.3 overs and would have required three extra had the six been given since Shashank and skipper Shreyas Iyer had run two.

Now that it is achieved and dusted, Punjab Kings should shrug this defeat away and get again to profitable methods as they tackle Mumbai Indians of their closing sport in Jaipur with an intention to remain in rivalry for a top-two spot.
