News India Live, Digital Desk: Forced Defeat on the Cricket Field: The role of umpires is very important in cricket, called Gentleman Game. One of his decisions may change the attitude of the match. But many times the umpires have such mistakes, which disappoint both sports lovers and players. In a similar case, it is being claimed that there were at least five such controversial decisions of the umpire, due to which Team India suffered a lot in the match and this also gave a lot of resentment among the Indian players.
What were those ‘wrong’ decisions and their impact?
It is known by everyone that in Test matches often prove to be one run and one wicket each. In that match, 5 decisions given by the umpire were questioned. Although special decisions are not mentioned here, but these mistakes are important in any match, such as:
-
Out not given (LBW or Catch): When it was clear that the batsman was out, but the umpire did not raise a finger, which gave the opposing team life and made a big score.
-
Wrong out: Calling the Indian batsmen wrongly out, especially when the replays clearly showed that the ball was going away from the wicket or before the bat.
-
Not paying attention to no-ball/wide ball: Leaving additional balls like no-ball or wide on crucial occasions, which provided unfair advantage to the opposing team.
-
Lack of run-out or stumping decisions: When the fielder of the Indian team made an opportunity to run-out or stumping by doing excellent efforts, but the batsmen of the opposition team survived by the umpire’s mistake.
-
Controversy to bonus or penalty runs: Sometimes the umpire makes such a mistake in fielding or over, which gives unnecessary additional runs to the opposing team.
Due to these decisions, the Indian team felt loosening their grip in the game. In the match, these ‘big blunders’ also questioned the fairness of the game. Indian players were certainly shocked and disappointed with these decisions, as every team takes on the field to win and such decisions can break their morale. Cricket fans are also disappointed to see such poor performance of umpiring and often demand better umpiring standards, so that the soul of the game and its fairness can remain.
