Delhi: The Indian Premier League (IPL) played on 1 May, in the 2025 match, Rajasthan Royals (RR) lost 100 runs to Mumbai Indians (Mi). In this match, former MI captain Rohit Sharma played a brilliant innings of 53 runs. But, more than his batting, the decision taken by him on DRS was in the discussion.
Saval raised on Rohit’s decision
In the second over of the match, Fazalhak Farooqui was bowling. On one of his balls, the umpire gave Rohit Sharma out. Rohit did not agree with this decision and wanted to take DRS. But, he was talking to his fellow player and by then time was passing fast.
When the time to take DRS on the screen was showing 0 seconds, Rohit gestured at the same time. Surprisingly, the umpire accepted it and the third umpire checked it. Rohit not out in replay.
Now the question is arising whether DRS can be taken even after the end of 15 seconds time? According to the rule, the player has to take a review within 15 seconds after the umpire’s decision.
Fans were angry with this decision and there was a lot of criticism for umpiring on social media. Some even called this decision “fixing”.
What are your views on this?
In My View, Rohit Took The review Way Past The 15 second deadline.
And then the ball looked to be pitching more than 50% inside the line.#ROHITSHARMA#MivSRR#Retro pic.twitter.com/qythkvinuu– Drinks Break (@DrinksBreak19) May 1, 2025
