SRH No Ball Controversy: ‘Absolute Joke’ Fans fume as 3rd umpire overturns shocking NO BALL as Klaasen argues with umpire – Check out
The incident happened in the 19th over of first innings when Klaasen was on strike against Avesh Khan, who bowled a waist-high full-toss. The on-field umpire signaled a no-ball but the decision was challenged by LSG skipper Krunal Pandya. The third umpire, after looking at multiple replays, decided to reverse the decision and call it a fair delivery despite ball tracking showing otherwise. Not happy with the decision, the fans sitting right behind the LSG dugout started throwing water bottles and other things towards the Lucknow camp.
“The wicket changed quickly in the middle. There was some spin and decent amount of bounce, there were a few rippers (by Krunal – Markram and Phillips’ wicket.) That broke the moment, it was difficult to play the harder length balls. Need to bowl length and slower ones into the wicket, can’t be too full,” Klaasen said at the mid-innings break.
“It’s not a bad wicket, but it’s a bit slow. Can use the natural variations. I reckon if the spinners can bowl quickly into the wicket, the natural variations can take over. Disappointed off the crowd to be honest, that’s not what you want. That also broke the momentum, not great umpiring either,” he added.
Meanwhile, here are some Twitter Reactions:
Heinrich Klaasen said – "Disappointed with crowds, you don't want this from home crowd. They broke up our momentum".
