The target is 223 runs. Royal Challengers Bangalore needed Virat Kohli at the crease to win. Virat himself knew that. So he could not accept anything even after being out. He kept demanding no ball. Even after the decision of the third umpire, the owner of the orange hat started an argument with the field umpire. Returning to the dugout, he expressed his anger.
Harshit Rana was bowling in the third over. Virat was outside the crease when he played his first ball. The ball hits the bat straight. Bowler Harshit took the ball immediately. But Virat did not want to leave the crease. He claimed that the ball was above the waist. So Virat demanded no ball. He also indicated to take the review. However, the field umpires take the review by themselves. They want to be sure whether to say no or not. The third umpire sees the ball below Virat’s waist. As a result, he did not give a no ball. The decision of the field umpire stands. Virat got angry at that.
Virat is seen moving towards the umpires in a very aggressive manner. He didn’t want to admit that he was out. Virat repeatedly argued with the field umpires. He left the field very angry. An angry Virat can also be seen in the dugout, pointing out the height of the ball to his teammates.

A new technology is being used to detect whether or not there is a ball above the waist. Each cricketer’s waist size is given to the technology. The height of the ball will also be measured with that technology. It can be seen immediately whether the ball is above the waist of the cricketer or below. Commentators on the broadcasting channel said that Virat’s waist height is 1.04 meters from the ground. The ball was at a height of 1.02 meters. That is, the ball was below the waist. Also, Virat was out of the crease. As a result, the third umpire announced that Virat’s out was justified.
