Fans throng with comments as RCB Captain Faf Du Plessis makes a poor DRS Call - Details!
Home > News Shots > Sports newsBangalore captain Du Plessis' DRS Call in the match against Kolkata has drawn criticism from fans.
The 6th league match of the IPL series was played at the Mumbai ground yesterday. The Royal Challengers Bangalore, led by Du Plessis, clashed with the Kolkata Knight Riders, led by Sreyas Iyer.
Bangalore won the toss and elected to bowl Batting first, Kolkata lost all their wickets in 18.5 overs and scored 128 runs. Only Andre Russell top-scored with 25. For Bangalore, Hasaranga took 4 wickets, Akash Deep took 3 wickets, Herschelle Patel took 2 wickets and Mohammad Siraj took 1 wicket.
Batting next, Bangalore won by 132 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 19.2 overs. Sherban Rutherford top-scored with 28 and Shahbaz Ahmed with 27. For Kolkata, Tim Southee took 3 wickets, Umesh Yadav took 2 wickets and Sunil Narine and Varun Chakraborty took 1 wicket each.
In this situation, a DRS Call from RCB Captain Du Plessis in the match has caused dissatisfaction among the fans. In the 16th over of the match, Kolkata batsman Varun Chakravarthy faced a ball from Harshal. Harshal Patel then appealed for a LBW that the ball had landed at the feet of Varun Chakravarthy.
But it was like the ball hit the bat first. Following this, Captain Du Plessis asked the third umpire for a review. When the third umpire watched on TV, it became clear that the ball had hit the bat first. Thus the Bangalore team unnecessarily became a review waste. An experienced player like Du Plessis heard such a review which caused dissatisfaction among the fans. Many people have been critical of this on social media.
