Shreyas Iyer Video: Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer got angry at the umpire during the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad when he indicated DRS without seeing him. Shreyas Iyer was desperate because even while defending 245, there was no edge in Punjab’s bowling. With the brilliant innings of Abhishek Sharma’s 141 runs, Hyderabad achieved the target with 9 balls remaining and won by 8 wickets.
This incident is of 5th over during the batting of Sunrisers Hyderabad. Glenn Maxwell was bowling in the powerplay. On the second ball of the 5th over, the ball went to the keeper’s gloves through the leg side of the head, then both the keeper and the bowler appealed. The umpire immediately looked back and indicated DRS to the third umpire. But Shreyas Iyer became very angry here.
The umpire did not ask Shreyas Iyer?
However, the rule says that whether DRS is to be taken or not, the captain makes the decision and the umpire also has to accept the decision of DRS after his decision. But perhaps it did not happen at this time, so while coming towards the pitch, Shreyas Iyer shouted and told the umpire to ask me. During this, Iyer looked angry, although he later decided to take DRS himself. But it remained not out.
