Nowadays, the mistakes or wrong decisions are quite common in any formats of cricket. It might be the precise technology that is able to acknowledge every possible blunder now or later, or maybe the mistakes happened in earlier cricket too and as there is no particular camera and recording equipment people failed to notice them.
However, this incident that took place today in the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai has somehow proved the gaming standards of IPL 10th season. It is more often assumed that the standards of the game are going down day by day.
The match was held in Wankhede, and at the situation, David Warner surprisingly took strike against the rule on the first ball of the 7th over. Meanwhile, on the last ball of the 6th over, Warner hit a four off bowler Jasprit Bumrah. On the first delivery of the next over, David Warner took the strike again against the rule according to which he should have been at the non-strikers end.
The Umpire failed to notice this which even resulted in taking a tweet from the popular Crickbuzz:
Warner smashed 5.6 for a boundary, and then took strike the next over. Somehow the umpires overlooked it.#MIvSRH pic.twitter.com/gqcm8gISvc
