‘Worst DRS In IPL’: RCB Becomes The Butt Of Jokes For Taking LBW DRS After Ball Hits Bat


ADMIN

40 views

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batters held their nerves in a low-scoring thriller and registered their first win of the ongoing IPL 2022 . The Faf du Plessis-led side defeated two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by three wickets in a nail-biting encounter at the DY Patil Stadium.

From bowling spells by Wanindu Hasarnga and Harshal Patel to  Dinesh Karthik’s finishing skills, there were plenty of positives for the Bangalore-based franchise, who had failed to defend a mammoth 205-run total against Punjab Kings (PBKS) just a couple of days ago at the same venue.

For the majority of the match, the former Proteas skipper did a fanatic job, setting the right field and making right bowling changes at the right time. However, RCB’s one poor DRS call made the whole squad butt of jokes on the micro-blogging site. 

On the last ball of the 16th over, Harshal Patel, who had already picked up two wickets, was up against KKR’s number 11 Varun Chakaravarthy. In search of a third wicket, the 31-year-old medium pacer attempted a yorker which was successfully defended by the KKR batter, right from the middle of his bat.

What followed was a chain of comical events which resulted in one of the worst reviews of all-time. Harshal was convinced that the ball had hit the shoes first and looking at his strong appeal the RCB captain also didn’t think twice before going upstairs. 

The replay on the big screen indeed confirmed that Chakaravarthy’s boot was nowhere near the ball and the shot had come off right from the middle of the bat.

The people were left in disbelief when du Plessis opted to challenge the on-field decision and they trolled him mercilessly on the micro-blogging site. Some described it as one of the worst reviews of all-time, while others joked that it was a side effect of du Plessis sharing the locker room with Mohammed Siraj and Virat Kohli, whose DRS record was not very encouraging. 

Worst review ever seen...have seen few horrible ones in the past but this one

This review from RCB is a
Mockery of the review system after this next over Siraj coaxed Faf for an other review he denied with a wry smile.

Siraj has spread the DRS disease to Faf as well.

Come on,Quarantine him soon, otherwise it'll spread to everyone else in the team.#IPL2022

However, given RCB’s situation in the match not everyone was surprised that they went for the DRS. KKR were nine down and RCB had two reviews left in their account. That’s why the RCB leader didn’t ponder much and straightaway went for the DRS. Some even believed that it was a tactical move to kill time and avoid the slow over-rate penalty.

Whatever the reason maybe, the decision sure allowed the fans to laugh at their expense.
