IPL 2017: 5 umpiring howlers in the season so far

Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders

Parthiv survived after CK Nandan failed to spot an edge

In that same game, Parthiv Patel took a wild swing at a length delivery but missed. Perhaps due to the crazy atmosphere at the Wankhede, everyone but Uthappa failed to hear the nick. The umpire was unmoved but ultra-edge went on to that the ball had indeed brushed the bat.

Later, Jos Buttler too was given leg-before-wicket to Ankit Rajpoot to a delivery which was going down leg. The umpire who made these shockers was again CK Nandan.

Mumbai Indians coach Mahela Jayawardene remarked after the game, “It happens. It is not in our control. I don’t think anyone makes those mistakes. But wish for a change that the opposition can take our wickets.”
