Was Jitesh Sharma Out or Not Out? Twitterati Divided Over Third Umpire's Decision After Shaik Rasheed Takes Stunning Catch Close to the Boundary Line During CSK vs PBKS IPL 2023 Match
A controversial call by the third umpire as Jitesh Sharma was declared out by him. Shaik Rasheed looked extremely close to the boundary line but it was hard to tell if the feet touched the rope. Although fans in twitter had their own interpretation for the call.
Fans got to the edge of their seats during the CSK vs PBKS game as Jitesh Sharma threw his bat at a ball from Tushar Deshpande, skying it. Shaik Rasheed, who was fielding as a substitute fielder backtracked, caught the ball, but lost his balance and got himself dangerously down the rope. It was referred to the third umpire who adjudged it as out. Although the fans were not content with the decision as Twitter had divided opinions on the dismissal. Some appreciated Rasheed for the catch, some said it was clearly not out.
