Matthew Hayden slammed for his "someone else's trash" comment on Umesh - details!

Three matches have been played in the 15th IPL series so far - Kolkata, Delhi and Punjab, respectively, started the series and won the matches.

In the first match of the IPL series, Chennai and Kolkata clashed and KKR defeated CSK by 6 wickets.

Chennai, who batted first in the match, scored 131 for the loss of 5 wickets.

Kolkata on target

The question was whether the Chennai team, which initially stumbled after losing consecutive wickets, would cross the 100-run mark. But Dhoni, who was on beast-mode helped the team score 131 runs by hitting fours in the last few overs and a half-century. Kolkata won the toss and elected to field.

Awesome in Powerplay

Kolkata's fast bowler Umesh Yadav clinched the Man of the Match award in this match. In the first over, Umesh knocked out Ruturaj Gaikwad and outscored another opener Devon Conway by 3 runs. Umesh, who took two crucial wickets in the Powerplay, was instrumental in the team's victory. Also, Umesh, who has won the Man of the Match award in the IPL series 9 times so far, holds the record for the most number of IPL Man of the Match award by an Indian fast bowler.

Matthew Hayden's viral comment

When Umesh took Conway's wicket, Hayden, who was involved in the commentary, said,"Someone else’s trash has become KKR’s treasure”. The former cricketer was slammed for using such a line by the fans.

Umesh Yadav, who has not made a big impact on his bowling in recent times, has now proved his mettle in the first match of the IPL series. As such, fans have been critical of Hayden's word for how to refer to someone as junk.

The incident, which referred to the Indian team player as rubbish, has caused much controversy. In the IPL series, Hayden played for the Chennai Super Kings.
