Sachin Tendulkar is unhappy with the performance of the umpires after his team went down to Mohali in a thrilling IPL match on Wednesday (May 21). However speaking to TIMES NOW, third umpire Suresh Shashtri said he acted as per the ICC law 28.1, and declined to comment further.
Tendulkar was unhappy with the performance of Umpire Suresh Sashtri, who was the TV umpire of the match.
The first controversial decision was to give Mohali batsman Luke Pomersbach not out when he looked short of his ground against the direct throw from Shaun Pollock. The third umpire wasn’t convinced that the ball knocked off the bails as television footage added to the confusion. To make matters worse for Mumbai, Pomersbach went on to score 79 not out, putting up a century stand with compatriot Australian Shaun Marsh.
Then, during Mumbai’s innings, Dwayne Smith was run out by Piyush Chawla in what looked like a highly dubious decision.
Mumbai also felt unhappy about the run out of young batsman Chitnis. At the post match conference the diplomatic Tendulkar’s ire was more than evident.
“We are not allowed to comment anything - the whole would knows what happened, the whole world knows what it’s all about, and I would leave at that. I leave it to the management if they want to do somethng about it, but I won’t want to say anything,” he said last evening.
