IPL 2022: CSK vs MI Live – In a ridiculous development, two Chennai Super Kings batters Devon Conway and Robin Uthappa were denied the chance to use DRS on Thursday, due to no fault of their own.

Due to a power cut at one of the floodlight towers, the DRS was not available for 1.4 overs at the start of the Chennai Super Kings innings during which they lost three wickets. Opener Devon Conway (0) and Robin Uthappa (1) were out LBW off the deliveries of Daniel Sams and Jasprit Bumrah and CSK could not take the review as DRS was not available.
Just after Uthappa’s wicket, the DRS was available and the players were apparently told by the umpires about it. One of the floodlight towers went off just before the toss, which was delayed by a couple of minutes.
