Former Indian cricketer, Mohammad Kaif addressed the growing controversy and has slammed umpires and called their decision ‘ghatiya’.
Mohammad Kaif on Virat Kohli's dismissal
During the KKR vs RCB clash, Kohli's outing was put to an end by pacer Harshit Rana with a high full toss. Virat was unhappy and straight away went for the DRS. However, according to the latest technology, it would have been a legal delivery if Kohli was not standing outside of his crease. The former RCB captain was extremely furious with the decision and was also seen having a fuming exchange of words with the on-field umpires before leaving.
Now, former Indian player Mohammad Kaif has expressed his views on this and said he was extremely disappointed with the decision and slammed the umpires over it. He also said the umpiring has not been up to the mark in this season of IPL
"Virat's decision yesterday was disappointing. Umpiring in general has been a let down in IPL 2024," Kaif captioned the video he posted from his official 'X' account formerly known as Twitter.
RCB suffer 7th straight loss of IPL 2024
The Bengaluru-based franchise is currently stuck at the bottom of the points table after their sixth straight loss of the season. They have lost seven of their eight matches so far and are practically out of the playoffs race.
RCB would try to finish this season on a high and add some wins to their tally before the tournament ends. On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders have jumped over Sunrisers Hyderabad and have regained the number two spot in the points table.
