CSK VS MI: NO DRS AVAILABLE IN TONIGHT’S GAME DUE TO “POWER ISSUES” AT WANKHEDE!
Home > News Shots > SportsThe Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians are currently embroiled in a tussle that has caused a great deal of controversy in the first over.
Chennai Super Kings, the reigning IPL champions, have won just four of their 11 matches so far this season.
CSK, who are 9th with a total of 8 points, are in a dilemma of having to win the remaining 3 matches.
CSK in dire straits ..
So even if they win all three matches, it remains to be seen whether the CSK team will even advance to the playoffs, depending on the outcome of the other matches. Thus, they are currently clashing with the Mumbai Indians in an environment where they can advance to the next round only if many things are in favor of CSK.
Controversial decision ..
In this match, Chennai team was in a situation where they had to win for sure. Meanwhile, before the toss for the match, the toss was made a little late due to a power cut and light not working on the field. Consequently, after the start of the competition, the DRS system was not available as there was power cut.
Chennai fans in anger
It was in such a situation that CSK opener Devon Conway was out in LBW mode on the first ball he encountered. Subsequently, it seemed as if he was not out in the replay. CSK fans who have seen this are angrily commenting on the internet.
They also point out that if there had been a DRS system, Conway might even have been notified that it was not out. When Conway was out, CSK stumbled, losing 3 wickets for 5 runs. It was only after CSK lost 4 wickets for 17 runs that the power problems were rectified and the DRS system was activated again. Players can now make DRS appeals as well.
Many fans who have seen this have been questioning whether the first few overs like this will be played without DRS while the Mumbai team is batting.
