"WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE UMPIRE?" - POPULAR EX-CRICKETER SLAMS IPL UMPIRING! DETAILS!

Former India captain Krishnamachari Srikanth has slammed the IPL series umpires.

Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants clashed in the IPL yesterday. Batting first, Bangalore scored 181 for 6 in 20 overs. Captain du Plessis top-scored with 96.

Lucknow then went on to win by 182 runs. Lucknow started the match slowly and suddenly lost wickets in a row.

Lucknow were on course for victory with 34 runs in the last 2 overs. Marcus Stones and Jason Holder were on the field then. Jose Hustlewood bowled the first ball of the 19th over. But Umpire White did not give up. So Marcus Stones became very dissatisfied.

He stood on the wide line to bat the next ball. Taking advantage of this, Jose Hustlewood threw straight to the stumps and sent Stones on the ball. Thus Marcus Stones returned to the pavilion with fury. Lucknow lost by 163 runs at the end of 20 overs.

Netizens have been harshly criticizing the umpire's wrong decision on social media. Krishnamachari Srikanth, a former Indian cricketer from Tamil Nadu, has criticized the umpires in that regard. In it, ‘What’s the point for IPL umpires? Even small mistakes can have big consequences in competition. It's scary to look at. The BCCI should appoint qualified persons as umpires. Something to wake up to soon. Krishnamachari Srikanth has strongly criticized that only qualified people should be hired to be umpires.
