Controversy over the wicket of Dewald Brevis
Former umpire Anil Chaudhary gave his opinion on the controversial decision of Dewald Brevis during the RCB vs CSK match in IPL 2025. Brevis was given LBW out in the match. However, Brevis did not get permission to take DRS. Due to this, CSK camp and especially Ravindra Jadeja were disappointed. Anil Chaudhary said on this controversy that it is the responsibility of the batsman to focus on the umpire. The umpires monitor a review time of 15 seconds. The batsmen were busy running, so they could not see the hint of the umpire.
Anil Chaudhary made clean
Anil Chaudhary told that the batsman should look at the umpire. Even when five seconds are left, the umpire tells the player. Usually there is no deficiency in interaction. This is part of our process that when five seconds are left, we indicate so that the batsman can see. He first saw that the batsmen were busy running even after being dismissed. The ball is dead after being dismissed, there is no point in running. Even if the decision had changed, they would not be counted. The batsmen ran their time to run, so they could not listen to the umpire. Chaudhary said this in a video shared by Star Sports.
The screen of the screen was a mistake
Anil Chaudhary further said that the mistake of not showing the timer on the big screen was that of the person who was running the screen. This caused confusion to the batsmen. He said that the umpire told him that it had been more than 15 seconds. The TV umpire must have told this to them. However, the timer did not come on the big screen, causing confusion to the players. It is a matter of concern that it did not appear on the big screen. This is not the fault of the umpire, but the fault of the person who is running a big screen. The fate of the players was bad that they could not see it, so we could not blame them much.
Technology revealed that the ball missed the stumps. If Brevis had taken a review, he would have been called not out. However, he could not take a review in the scheduled time and had to return to the pavilion. RCB benefited from Brevis’s wicket. RCB won by two runs in a thrilling match and reached the top in the points table.
