Controversy arose early in Bengaluru’s innings while chasing runs against KKR. Problems arise around Virat Kohli’s dismissal. Kohli could not be happy with his out. Argued with the umpires. After the match, captain Faf du Plessis opened up about that. He spoke for the umpire and technology.
In the beginning, Duplessi was questioned about Kohli’s dismissal. The RCB captain said, “It’s an extraordinary event. But the rule is the rule. We have to accept that. According to Virat and I, the ball was above the waist. Umpires seem to measure the batter’s height from the popping crease (the spot outside which the batter can be stumped). Some think it goes above the waist. No one thought it was possible. This can happen in the match. We are not willing to think too much about it.”
The incident happened in the third over. Harshit Rana was saying. 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.
