Poor umpiring or something fishy don’t know what it is but it really takes some guts to give such poor decisions by 3rd umpire when ball clearly bounced. Even someone on 480p can tell that it is bounced before caught. How the hell is this frekin out?#SRHvsRR #KaneWilliamson #IPL pic.twitter.com/RtNilqF31O— Prakhar Sharma (@prakhar_333) March 29, 2022
