Kolkata: Got out above the waist. Such was his demand. He also challenged the umpire’s decision. But it didn’t work. The third umpire upheld the out after seeing the ball tracking. Despite that, he did not hide his anger. Plagued the umpire with questions. Not only that, he is seen talking to the umpire even after the match. The fact that he was unhappy was also showing in his body language. Virat Kohli got the result in hand. RCB star has been fined heavily by BCCI for breaking the rules in the KKR match.

Virat stormed early against KKR. But the storm did not last long. Harshit runs back to make 18 off 8 balls. This out has seen intense controversy in the IPL. Many have started saying that Virat was out because of a technical error. But many commentators have argued that Virat’s dismissal has been given according to proper rules. The umpire did nothing wrong.

Virat stepped out to play Harshit’s ball. Harshit had the ball on his waist as he left the crease. If he played standing at the crease, the ball would be below the waist. In tracking the position of a stepped out batter, the technology will capture his stance position. Going ahead and playing, it will not be caught. But many are dismissing this argument of former cricketers. Some are also saying that Virat is the victim of a mistake. Just as a line is drawn for offside in football, the same should be done in this case.

Whatever the situation, Virat is at the center of controversy. He had to pay for the trouble he caused by getting out. 50 percent of his match fee was deducted. Captain Faf du Plessis has been fined Tk 12 lakh due to slow over rate. AK team has lost six matches in a row. On top of that, the big fine of the team’s two stars further squeezed RCB. There is a lot of doubt about whether the team will be able to go to the playoffs this time. RCB’s game will end in the league unless a big incident happens.
