Delhi: In the current season of Ranji Trophy, the match between Mumbai and Jammu and Kashmir remains a topic of discussion. Team India’s star players Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shreyas Iyer are playing in this match. Shreyas Iyer came into controversy due to his argument with the umpire on the field. Captain Ajinkya Rahane also supported Iyer. Now due to this incident, there is a possibility of Iyer being banned for one match.
Why did Shreyas Iyer quarrel with the umpire?
Mumbai team was batting in the second innings. In the 22nd over, a ball from Jammu bowler Aaqib Nabi took the edge of Shreyas Iyer’s bat and went into the gloves of wicketkeeper Kanhaiya Wadhawan. Jammu and Kashmir players appealed and the umpire gave Iyer out. However, Iyer was not happy with this decision and was not ready to walk off the field.
Controversy over clean catch
Shreyas Iyer and Ajinkya Rahane standing at the non-strike end argued with the umpire. He believed that the catch was not taken cleanly. However, the umpire did not change his decision and Iyer had to return to the pavilion. Iyer scored 17 runs in 16 balls.
threat of ban
Now BCCI can ban Shreyas Iyer for one match due to his argument with the umpire. Earlier, Maharashtra player Anik Bawne also had to face ban in a similar situation. If BCCI takes strict action, Iyer may be out of the next match.
