Questions were raised on this decision of third umpire :-
Questions are being raised on social media about the way Hyderabad captain Kane Williamson got out in this match. Chasing runs in the match, the start of Hyderabad was not good. Kane returned to the pavilion after scoring just 2 runs.
In fact, when the famous Krishna bowled the fourth ball of the second over, the ball went straight into the hands of Sanju Samson, taking an edge from Williamson’s bat. Sanju missed the catch, but Padikal, standing in the slips, caught him immediately. In such a situation, the ground umpire sent this decision to the third umpire.
In the first frame, it seemed that the ball touched the ground; but the catch was noticed by the third umpire for some time, after which it was declared out. Hyderabad team was very disappointed with this decision.
