Though umpire Michael Gough took his time and meticulously reviewed the footage to determine whether du Plessis’s bat was in the air, he was eventually given out, and Plessis was not at all happy as he kept saying something on the way back.
This surprised Patidar, the entire RCB camp, and Virat Kohli, who was stunned by the decision.
Here’s the video:
Following this, netizens took to X and shared their anger:
One netizens commented, “Wrong decision by third umpire..I’m csk fan but #fafduplessis here not out..fu*k off #thirdumpire”
Some wrote, “RCB fans will say notout and CSK fans will say out (sic)
Another wrote, “Hey peeps, I don’t know few people’s are telling it’s not run out. But if you see clearly bat is in the air for little second. Watch this video. So it’s clear run out. Santner pays that every chance he gets❤️🔥 Underrated”
