The Indian Premier League clash between Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore saw another controversial decision by the third-umpire after a caught-behind appeal was turned down by KL Rahul. The incident took place in the eighth over of the Bangalore innings, who opted to bat first after winning the toss.
In the third delivery of the over, RCB opener Devdutt Padikkal tried to sweep Ravi Bishnoi's delivery running down the leg stump but failed to make any connection as Rahul collected it. While both the bowler and the wicket-keeper were certain about the ball taking an edge on its way, the on-field umpire didn't look interested as the appeal was forwarded to the TV umpire.
The TV umpire ran the delivery through a snickometer, which showed a clear spike when the ball passed close to the gloves and the bat. However, the offical still stayed with the on-field umpire's decision, leading Rahul to have some chat about the decision.
