In the match between KKR and DC, Ajinkya Rahane was saved twice by DRS. Rahane, on the other hand, ran out of luck in the fifth over when Khaleel Ahmed, who had replaced Anrich Nortje, dismissed him. The veteran hit eight runs off 14 balls before being dismissed by Thakur’s brilliance.
In the first half of the game, Delhi Capitals were on fire against Kolkata Knight Riders, scoring 215/5 after batting first at Brabourne Stadium. After the innings break, Kolkata Knight Riders’ opening batsmen stepped out to try and chase down the massive score and keep their position atop the points table in IPL 2022. However, on the first two balls of KKR’s innings, a humorous thing occurred.
The decision of the on-field umpire is reversed twice in two balls
Ajinkya Rahane of KKR was on strike against Mustafizur Rehman when there was an appeal for caught behind, and the on-field umpire ruled him out. However, Rahane immediately went for DRS, and replays revealed that the ball had only touched his pad and not the bat. The TV umpire overturned the ruling.
Mustafizur appealed for LBW against Rahane on the very next ball, and the on-field umpire once again ruled him out. It was a replay of what had happened in the preceding ball, which Rahane went over again. This time, it appeared that the KKR opener had edged the ball before it struck his pad.
The internet was amused by two DRS in two balls that were both reversed by the TV umpire.

Shardul Thakur then made an amazing catch to get rid of Rahane. Rahane struggled in the middle as the Capitals asked the Knights to pursue 216.

The outcome of this match will depend on
– where Rahane bats
– how Rahane bats
– how long Rahane bats— Abhishek Mukherjee (@ovshake42) April 10, 2022
The umpire gave two out that were overturned and then didn't give this one out! Absolute gold! 😂😂😂
