Was Rohit Sharma Out or Not Out? Mumbai Indians Captain's Dismissal During MI vs RCB IPL 2023 Sparks Controversy, Former Cricketers React
Rohit Sharma's dismissal once again sparked controversy in IPL 2023. Earlier this season, Rohit Sharma was bowled by a Sandeep Sharma delivery but replays seemed to indicate that the keeper's (Sanju Samson in this case) hands were used to take the bails out. But IPL later shared a video from separate angles, which showed that the dismissal was legitimate.
Rohit Sharma's dismissal during the Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore match once again sparked controversy. Rohit, who was way down the crease, attempted a defensive shot towards Wanindu Hasaranga, but the ball trapped him in front of the pads.

Patel and Kaif shared screenshots to show that the distance between Rohit and the stumps was more than 3 metres while Chopra called for the Hawkeye to settle this debate.
