IPL 2018, KKR vs MI: 5 unnoticed things from the game

#3 Tom Curran’s controversial no-ball

In a high-intensity game where Mumbai was going all guns blazing at the Kolkata bowlers, even umpires seemed to get carried away as they restored to give some wrong decisions. It was the 16th over of the Mumbai innings when one of the on-field umpires gave a bizarre decision to call one of the legal delivery as a no-ball.

The drama unfolded as Tom Curran, who didn’t overstep at that particular delivery, was penalized to bowl an extra ball. However, Hardik Pandya failed to connect the free hit but it was yet another evidence of some poor umpiring shows in this IPL.

Curran landed cleanly in his delivery stride as his leg slid after landing, but the umpire saw it as an overstepped call. KKR even wanted to go for the review but umpires denied their appeal.
