It's a common sight to see umpires do a no-ball check after any wicket falls. Umpires have missed no-balls before. But when S Ravi missed a no-ball in the last ball of RCB vs MI match, things became ugly. A match where all three results would have been possible with a no-ball call in due time. Virat Kohli went on to compare this to the level of club cricket.

This kind of error by an umpire was never seen before which has an immediate impact on the result of the match. Let the administrators take a lesson on this and with the help of technology such an error should be avoided in future.

Let's hope in the coming days we see some new innovations, tactics or style of play. These things make the game more exciting. It will be interesting if this year IPL finds a new winner. Delhi Capitals, Kings XI Punjab or Royal Challengers Banga winning this year will increase the competition in the coming years.
